 Even for his name there are no clues of what it could have originally meant in Egyptian, though the variant "Saites" used by Sextus Julius Africanus in his epitome of Manetho, might contain a reference to the deltaic city of Sais.It has been suggested that the name might be linked to "shallit", a title borne by the biblical patriarch Joseph during his stay in Egypt () with the meaning of "keeper of the power"; however, this is also considered a very weak assumption.As for him, also the identification of his Egyptian predecessor Tutimaios and Asiatic successor Bnon were a matter of debate; though the former was tentatively identified with Djedneferre Dedumose of the vaning 13th Dynasty; this identification was questioned for being rather weak.
