Sewadjkare Hori (also known asHori II) was apharaoh of the late13th Dynasty, possibly the thirty-sixth king of this dynasty.[2] He reigned overMiddle andUpper Egypt for five years, either during the early or mid-17th century, from 1669 until 1664 BC[1] or from 1648 until 1643 BC.[3]
Sewadjkare Hori is only known for certain from theTurin canon, row 8, column 7 (Gardiner, von Beckerath: row 7, column 7). The Turin canon provides theprenomen Sewadjkare and thenomen Hori for this king.
Jürgen von Beckerath assigns to him a stone fragment fromEl-Tod inscribed with the prenomen "Sewadj[...]re". However, since there are two other rulers from theSecond Intermediate Period bearing the same prenomen, this identification remains conjectural.[4]
Sewadjkare Hori should not be confused withSewadjkare, a pharaoh of the early 13th Dynasty, and with anotherSewadjkare III from the mid14th Dynasty. Both of these pharaohs enjoyed shorter reigns than Sewadjkare Hori.[1]
