单词 shepherd king
释义

shepherd kingn.

Etymology: < shepherd n. + king n.In sense 1 a translation of Greek βασιλεῖς ποιμένες, Manetho's rendering of the Egyptian designation which he transliterates as Ὕκσως (Hyksōs). Modern scholars give the probable Egyptian form of the name as heqa khoswe chief of foreign lands, Manetho's rendering being due to a mistake.
1. plural. The designation of a succession of kings of Egypt (forming the 15th and 16th dynasties of Manetho), belonging to some foreign people, probably of mixed Semitic-Asiatic stock. (By historians often called Hyksos n.)
