Psammis reigned over Egypt for only six years; he invaded Ethiopia, and immediately thereafter died, and Apries1 the son of Psammis reigned in his place.

1 Apries is the Hophra of O.T.; he reigned from 589 to 570 B.C., apparently. But the statement that he attacked Tyre and Sidon is inconsistent with Jewish history (Jerem.xxvii, Ezek.xvii.).
