• Resumen

  • A stela of King Apries was discovered in 2021 about 6 km south-west of Tell Defenneh. It describes the king’s journey to the eastern borders of Egypt with a rest taken in Heliopolis. During the journey, the king accomplished some activities, including hunting, taming his horse(s), and most importantly raising the degree of readiness of his soldiers. The text ends with a royal order for setting up the stela. Though the stela does not show any regnal year, it is assumed that it dates to the beginning of Apries’ reign.
