Hor son of Punesh

Hor is named in the fragmentary Blacas papyrus from the third quarter of 5th century BC, discovered at Saqqara and now in London.

[5] He may be the same figure as Horus son of Paneshe named in the Demotic tale Setne Khamwas and Si-Osire, preserved on a papyrus from the 1st century BC, probably of Crocodilopolis, now in London.

[3] The fragmentary Aramaic story of Bar Punesh has been transcribed and translated into English by Arthur Ernest Cowley.

[4] The edition of Bezalel Porten and Ada Yardeni agrees, having Bar Punesh put "over the host of kings, and set him among the officers".

[2] The translation and adaptation of his story into Aramaic, a lingua franca used as far east as India, demonstrate that Demotic literature was not limited in readership to a tiny elite.
