Aperanat is only known from a single seal . It bears the title Heka-chasut , which translates as "ruler of foreign lands" and from which the word Hyksos is derived. Aperanat's position is controversial. Ryholt tentatively sees him as the second ruler of the 15th dynasty , but points out that , with one exception , Heka-chasut is never associated with the royal statute and that these people were officials rather than kings, as is often assumed. Von Beckerath sees him as a petty king who ruled in South Palestine and reads the name "User-anat".
