A short entry for Dynasty 24, a brief western-Delta dynasty based at Sais: Tefnakht, who resisted the Kushite advance from the south, and his successor Bakenranef (the 'Bocchoris' of Greek tradition, where he is remembered as a lawgiver). They were overrun by the Kushite Dynasty 25. Bakenranef's lawgiver reputation belongs to Greek legend.
