Onomasticon of Amenope

Onomasticon of Amenope

The Onomasticon of Amenope is an Egyptian document from the late 20th Dynasty to 22nd Dynasty, a compilation belonging to a tradition begun in the Middle Kingdom, and which includes the Ramesseum Onomasticon dating from the late Middle Kingdom.[1]

It is an administrative/literary categorization of 610 entities organized hierarchically,[2] rather than a list of words (glossary). It is known from ten fragments including versions on papyrus, board, leather, and pottery.[3]

Its content includes many groupings, including heavenly objects, towns, peoples, offices, buildings, types of land, agricultural produce, beverages and oxen parts. It lists several different groups of 'Sea Peoples' and Libyans, including the Danuna, Kehek, Libu, Lukka, Meshwesh, Nubians, and Sherden.

The Onomasticon of Amenope is an important resource for scholars studying ancient Egyptian life, the pharaonic administration and court, the priesthood,[4] the history of the Sea Peoples,[5] the geography and political organization of the Levant during the late New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period,[6] early Bible studies, etc.
