Person
Apries
pharaoh of Egypt
Apries is the name by which Herodotus (ii.
161) and Diodorus (i.
68) designate Wahibre Haaibre, (Pharaoh-Hophra), a pharaoh of Egypt (589 BCE – 570 BCE), the fourth king (counting from Psamtik I) of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt.
He was equated with the Waphres of Manetho, who correctly records that he reigned for 19 years.
Apries is also called Hophra in Jeremiah 44:30.
