| Summary: | Gaza is mentioned for the first time in Egyptian annals in the record of the first campaign of Thutmose III in Asia. There it is called "That-Which-the-Ruler-Seized" although it was apparently already under Egyptian control. In later documents of the XVIIIth Dynasty it is called simply Gaza. In the XIXth Dynasty it is referred to as "The Canaan", in documents from the time of Seti I, Ramses II, Merneptah, and Ramses III. In the "Onomasticon of Amenope" Gaza appears as apparently one of the Philistine cities, and thereafter it disappears for a long time from Egyptian sources. |
