Anather
(Anat her)
ˁnt ḥr

Anather , also Anathaddi , is the proper name of an ancient Egyptian petty king or prince of the Second Intermediate Period (around 1650 to 1550 BC), which, however, cannot yet be classified more precisely within this epoch .

Anather is entitled "Heqa-chasut" ( Ḥq3-ḫ3swt ), which translates as "ruler of the desert countries / foreign countries" and from which the word Hyksos is derived. He is a ruler who has so far only been occupied by two scarabs . One of these seals is now in a private collection, the other was once in the Michaelidis collection. Presumably he was a petty prince of a town in southern Palestine . Perhaps this king also belongs to the 15th dynasty .

The name Anathaddi is Northwest Semitic and Thomas Schneider suggests that this means something like " Attention from (God) Hadad ".

Kim Ryholt dates Anather to the 12th Dynasty based on the style of the seals .
