Harsiotef

Harsiotef

Harsiotef was a king of Kush (about 404 - 369 BC). He left an inscription dated to his thirty-third regnal year, listing the battles from his successful campaign east of his kingdom against a town called "Habasa", whose inhabitants were called Matit. As a result of his victory, the Matit agreed to pay tribute to him.

The name of this place may be the earliest recorded use of the word Habesha, the etymological basis for English "Abyssinia," the only earlier text which may refer to the term is the mention of a people of Punt living in incense-producing regions called "ḫbstjw" during Queen Hatshepsut's time.

Harsiotef was buried in a pyramid at Nuri (Nu.13).
