Abstract
Ma-na-aḫ-pi-/ir-/ja of the Amarna letters can be identified as Mn-ḫpr-r‘, the throne name of Thutmosis III, rather than Mn-ḫpr.w-r‘, the throne name of Thutmosis IV. This equation is supported by the un-etymological writing of Thutmoses III’s throne name as Mnḫ-p3-r‘ in hieroglyphic and Demotic sources. The Hellenistic renderings of Mn-ḫpr-r‘ as Mesphres and of Mnḫ-p3-r‘ as Μεχφρης indicate that Μισαφρις, as Africanus renders the throne name of Thutmosis III in his copy of the Manethonian king list, is corrupt. It remains an open question whether ḫpr in Thutmoses III’s throne name is the same as ḫpr in related names, like Ḫpr-ḫpr.w-r‘, the throne name of Aya.
