Endnote 14 - Pharaoh’s Man, ‘Abdiel: The Vizier with a Semitic Name

In her recent book Amenhotep III: Egypt’s Radiant Pharaoh (Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press, 2012), p. 247, Ariel Kozloff, a specialist of this reign, suggests that the Egyptian official Amanappa (probably a transcription of Amenempe, meaning “Amun is in Ope”) of the Amarna Letters, has replaced his name with ‘Aper-El in year 5 of Akhenaten’s reign, his former name becoming inappropriate because it refers to the god Amun. The parallel mention of a charioteer named Huy, like the son of the vizier, a common name, is not enough to give consistence to this hypothesis.
