Zamonth

Samonth, also Zamonth, was an Egyptian vizier of the Middle Kingdom.

Documents

As vizier Samonth is known by two stelae. One of the two pillars is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo ( CGC 20102 ) and is called the family of the vizier, including his son, who was priest of Amun. His wife was called Henutpu. This is the name of the mother of the vizier Anchu, who was perhaps the son of Samonth accordingly.

In inscriptions in Lower Nubia also a Samonth, which is identical to the vizier perhaps, but carries other titles so that these inscriptions are dated to the period prior to transport to the vizier appears. The identification is made via the nut Satip. These inscriptions dated to the 6th and 9th year of the reign of Amenemhat III. Zamonth bears the title "True King acquaintance " and official, mouth of Nekhen. It is reported by an expedition to Nubia, where there were no deaths. Apparently there is a punitive expedition on a small scale.
