Abstract

In the section "Demographics and the African group: settings and circumstances" (pp. 206-11), Karlsson tables the evidence's temporal and spatial distribution. As expected, data predating Esarhaddon's conquest of Egypt is rare; before that, the isolated house sale SAA 6 142 from Nineveh dated to 692 bc, which brings together individuals either identified as Egyptian or bearing Egyptian or Libyan names, constitutes the main evidence. Moreover, his table of Egyptian names and words as rendered in cuneiform will be useful for the identification of further Egyptian name material in newly discovered sources.
