 Smendes III

Smendes III was a High Priest of Amun at Thebes during the reign of pharaoh Takelot I of the 22nd Dynasty.The name "Smendes" is a hellenization of the Egyptian name Nesbanebdjed (""He of the ram, lord of Mendes""), while the ordinal number distinguishes him from the founder of the 21st Dynasty Smendes I, and from the earlier, namesake High Priest of Amun, Smendes II.A scarcely attested High Priest, he is mainly known for some Nile Level Texts at Karnak where he is called "High Priest of Amun" and "son of king Osorkon"
