La stĂšle de Semna, du vice-roi de Nubie de la XVIIIe dynastie, Ousersatet, consigne un conseil donnĂ© par Amenhotep II Ă son vice-roi sous la forme dâune copie monumentale de la transcription personnelle du roi de son propre dĂ©cret royal Ă Ousersatet. Le dĂ©cret fut promulguĂ© durant une fĂȘte cĂ©lĂ©brant lâaccession royale, Ă une date secondaire, apparemment pour lier lâaccession royale Ă la fĂȘte k?-?r-k?, Ă lâimage de RamsĂšs III qui, plus tard, cĂ©lĂ©brera Ă la fois son accession et une fĂȘte de lâaccession royale associĂ©e Ă la fĂȘte de NĂ©hebkaou. Dans ce texte, Amenhotep II conseille Ousersatet quant aux interactions des Ăgyptiens et Nubiens avec lâadministration du vice-roi et Ă©claire un peu les relations entre le roi, le vice-roi et les membres nubiens de la bureaucratie Ă©gyptienne du sud. La nature apparemment obscure et poĂ©tique du conseil royal et le manque de clartĂ© quant Ă la situation dâAmenhotep II lorsquâil le prodigue expliquent lâattention portĂ©e Ă ce texte, mais un certain manque de rigueur dans lâinterprĂ©tation a obscurci plusieurs analyses de lâinscription. Un nouveau collationnement et un examen du texte de la stĂšle rĂ©vĂšlent quâAmenhotep II aborde apparemment la question de lâintĂ©gration croissante, par le vice-roi, de Nubiens dans les niveaux les plus Ă©levĂ©s de lâadministration du sud. Amenhotep II utilise une formule apparemment proverbiale qui fait rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă la transmission de lâautoritĂ© plus ancienne du vice-roi aux plus grandes divisions de la bureaucratie, et Ă la crĂ©ation dâun Ă©quivalent nubien du vice-roi, ce dernier restant nĂ©anmoins le primus inter pares de lâadministration.
The Semna stela of the Eighteenth Dynasty Viceroy of Nubia, Usersatet, records Amenhotep IIâs advice to his viceroy in the form of a monumental copy of the kingâs personal transcription of his own royal decree to Usersatet. The decree was issued during a festival celebrating the royal accession on a secondary date, apparently in order to link the kingâs accession to the k?-?r-k? festival, just as Ramesses III later would celebrate both his actual accession and a festival of royal accession associated with the Nehebkau festival. Amenhotep II offers advice to Usersatet regarding interactions of Egyptians and Nubians within the viceregal administration, and shed some light on the interactions of king, viceroy, and Nubian members of the Egyptian bureaucracy in the south. The seemingly obscure and poetic nature of the kingâs advice, and the lack of clarity regarding the situation about which Amenhotep II offers his advice, have led to considerable modern attention to the text, but a certain looseness of interpretation has plagued many examinations of the inscription. A new collation of the stela, and an examination of the text, reveal that Amenhotep II was apparently addressing the viceroyâs increasing integration of Nubians into the higher levels of the southern administration. Amenhotep II quotes an apparently proverbial saying that refers to a devolution of earlier viceregal authority into greater divisions of bureaucracy, and the creation of a Nubian counterpart to the viceroy, the latter remaining nevertheless the primus inter pares of the administration.

Le Vice-roi de Koush (Fils royal de Koush) Ă©tait un haut fonctionnaire de lâadministration impĂ©riale Ă©gyptienne durant le Nouvel Empire. Les sources textuelles et archĂ©ologiques de la pĂ©riode ramesside indiquent que certains vice-rois ramessides ont jouĂ© un rĂŽle militaire important durant les rĂšgnes de SĂ©thy Ier, RamsĂšs II et MĂ©renptah, en maintenant lâautoritĂ© politique, Ă©conomique et militaire de lâEmpire ramesside dans ses territoires mĂ©ridionaux. Ils participĂšrent aux grandes campagnes militaires ramessides contre la Nubie sous le commandement de leurs rois guerriers afin dâanĂ©antir les rĂ©voltes nubiennes dans les rĂ©gions dâIrem ou de Ouaouat. Ils menĂšrent Ă©galement dâautres campagnes par eux-mĂȘmes dans le mĂȘme but ainsi quâĂ des fins politiques ou Ă©conomiques. Cet article examine et discute ce point afin de mettre en lumiĂšre un nouvel aspect de lâimpĂ©rialisme Ă©gyptien en Nubie ramesside.
The Viceroy of Kush (Kingâs son of Kush) was a high official in the structure of the Egyptian imperial administration during the New Kingdom. The textual and archaeological evidence of the Ramesside Period indicate that some Ramesside viceroys had played a significant military role during the reigns of Sety I, Ramesses II and Merenptah, to support the political, economic and military authority of the Ramesside Empire in its southern territories. They had participated in the major Ramesside military campaigns against Nubia under the command of their warrior kings that aimed to crush any Nubian revolts in the regions of Irem or Wawat. They had also led other campaigns by themselves for the same purpose and for any other political or economic purposes. This paper surveys and discusses this point, in order to shed some light on a new aspect of the Egyptian imperialism in Ramesside Nubia.
