ANTEF. An-Tef,
(an "star") + (Tef "divine father"). (The
Natural Genesis,
Massey, 1883).
Antef
I., an Egyptian king of the XIth dynasty, of whom nothing is as yet
known. This monarch and his successors are thought by some
Egyptologists to have been merely petty kings reigning in the Thebaid,
contemporaneously with the monarchs of the XIIth, XIIIth and XIVth
dynasties. These kings are also often called Entef and Enentef.
Antef II., or Antefaa,
"Antef the Great," the brother of king Antef I., a monarch of
the XIth dynasty. He was a great hunter, and his tomb in the
Asasseef is remarkable for its containing representations of four distinct
species of Egyptian hounds which were used in the chase; but there are no
records of his reign and acts. Antef III., surnamed Harmiha;
praenomen, Rakherpapuherma,
the fifth king of the XIth Egyptian dynasty. In this dynasty all the
kings bore the names of Antef and Mentuhotep alternately. Little is
known respecting him, except that he was the brother of Antef II. Antef
IV., praenomen, Ranubkheper,
an Egyptian monarch of the XIth dynasty, the successor of Mentuhotep
II. His place is uncertain, and he is only mentioned in the Abbot
papyrus. Antef, a great Egyptian officer in the XIIth
dynasty. He was first lieutenant of the king, and governor of the
city of Tanis and the district of Abydos. He executed some important
government works, and is stated to have been famous for his clemency and
impartiality. He also took charge of the armies of Egypt, and
invaded and subjugated a country whose name is lost, but which was
probably on the coast of Syria. His monumental inscription records
his virtues and their rewards in a style of considerable eulogy, and he
appears to have held his various offices for a long time. He had a
brother named Ahmes, and a son Teti. Antef, the son of an
Egyptian named Antefaker and his wife Hotept. He probably lived in
the XIIth dynasty. Antef, an high Egyptian officer and Sam,
the son of Setmena, in the reign of Osirtesen I. of the XIIth
dynasty. He had two wives, named respectively Sethathor and Merit,
and several sons named Usertesen, Nebkau, and Sebektu, and also a daughter
Setamen. Antef was called on his funereal inscription, "He who
seeks the poor in their distresses." Antef, a son of
Merri, the Egyptian superintendent of canal and public works in the reign
of Osirtesen I. of the XIIth dynasty. (An Archaic Dictionary,
Cooper, 1876).
