Pihuri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pakhura (Pihu) was an Egyptian commissioner in the "Land of Retenu" (Canaan) mentioned in the Amarna letters. He probably served under Pharaoh Amenhotep III and/or Akhenaten. In EA 122, Rib-Hadda, king of Byblos, complained of an attack by Pakhura, who killed a number of Byblos' Shardana mercenaries and took captive three of Rib-Hadda's men.
