Sewadjenre Nebiryraw (also Nebiriau I, Nebiryerawet I) was an ancient Egyptian king of the Theban-based 16th Dynasty, during the Second Intermediate Period.

Attestations

His main attestation is in the Thebaid region, the Juridical Stela preserving his names and provides the highest attestation Year 1. He is known from several seals.

[1] At Thebes, the Juridical Stela, a well known administrative document dated to his regnal Year 1.^[5]^[6] This stela also mentions a predecessor king "Merhotepre", which may be Merhotepre Sobekhotep. On the stela his nomen is written as Neb-iri-er-au (nb-iri-Ꜣw).^[7]

[2] At Hu, a cemetery yielded a copper dagger with the prenomen of Nebiriau that was discovered by Flinders Petrie in late 1890s.^[8]^[9]^[10]

[3] Nebiryraw is also depicted along with the goddess Maat on a small stela which is part of the Egyptian collection located in Bonn.^[11]

[4] Seals. All the seals issued by Nebiryraw were made of clay or frit rather than the usual steatite which implies there were no mining expeditions dispatched to the Eastern Desert region of Egypt during his reign.^[12] Two seals of this king were found at Lisht which at the time was part of the Hyksos realm; this finding may demonstrate diplomatic contacts between the Theban dynasty and the Hyksos during Nebiryraw's reign, although this is uncertain.^[13] In the Petrie Museum, see UC 11608 and some faience scarabs (UC 11609, 11610, 11611, 11612) do not give royal titles, and may be read as a blessings instead.^[14]

Non-contemporary attestations

The Karnak King List #38 (33) mentions Sewadjenra (swꜢḏ.n-rꜤ) between Sankhibra (37) and ...kare (39).

The Turin King List 11:05 mentions "The Dual King Nebiriawra (nb-iri-(r)-Ꜣw(t)^[15]) reigned 26 years ...".^[16] Here he is between Se...en...ra (11:04) and Nebitawra (11:06). The Turin King List uses another variant of the nomen compared with the Juridical Stela. On the Turin Canon he is credited with a 26-year-long reign and was succeeded by his namesake Nebiryraw II, who may have been his son.^[17] His highest attestation is Year 1 and there are hardly enough archaelogical finds to support a reign of 26 years.

Nebiryraw's throne name Sewadjenre (along with the epithets "good god" and "deceased") appears on the base of a bronze statuette of the god Harpocrates now in Cairo (JE 38189), along with other royal names, two of them – Ahmose and Binpu – apparently belonging to princes of the 17th Dynasty which would replace the 16th Dynasty shortly thereafter. The statuette also mentions a "good god Neferkare, deceased" which is generally believed to be the throne name of Nebiryraw's purported son and successor, Nebiryraw II. The statuette is clearly non-contemporary, however, since the cult of Harpocrates was introduced during the Ptolemaic period i.e. about 1500 years after the people named on the statuette had lived.^[18]

+'''Sewadjenre Nebiryraw''' (also '''Nebiriau I''', '''Nebiryerawet I''') was an [[ancient Egypt]]ian king of the [[Thebes, Egypt|Theban]]-based [[Sixteenth Dynasty of Egypt|16th Dynasty]], during the [[Second Intermediate Period]].
-'''Nebiriau''' or '''Nebiryerawet''' '''I''' was a [[pharaoh]] of [[ancient Egypt|Egypt]] of the 16th or 17th Theban dynasty based in [[Upper Egypt]] during the [[Second intermediate period]]. He reigned for 26 years according to the [[Turin Canon]] and was succeeded by [[Nebiriau II]] who may have been his son.<ref>Kim Ryholt, The Political Situation in Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period, Museum Tusculanum Press, (1997), pp.155 & 202</ref> All the published seals of Nebiriau I were made of clay or frit rather than steatite which implies there were no mining expeditions dispatched to the Esatern Desert region of Egypt during his reign.<ref>Ryholt, op. cit., pp.159-60</ref> Two seals of this king were found at Lisht deep in Hyksos territory which might imply diplomatic contact between the Theban dynasty and the Hyksos during Nebiriau I's reign although this is uncertain.<ref>Ryholt, op. cit., p.162</ref>
+==Attestations==
-The Cairo Juridical Stela dates to Year 1 of his reign where the father of Sobeknakht II--a certain Sobeknakht himself--purchased the office of Governorate of Elkab from Kebsi. Kebsi, in turn, was the son of Governor (later Vizier) Aymeru and Grandson of Aya who was appointed Vizier in Year 1 of Merhotepre Ini of the 13th Dynasty. This suggests that the owner of the richly decorated tomb T10 at El-Kab was Sobeknakht II. Accordingly, if Sobeknakht I first purchased his office in Year 1 of Nebiriau I--who is given a reign of 26 Yrs by the Turin Canon--his son wld have served during the final years of Nebiriau I, Nebiriau II and probably [[Seuserenre Bebiankh]] (given 12 yrs by the Turin Canon).
