(as per EEF; M. Luban)

In Horemheb's commoner tomb at Saqqara, his sovereign seems to be Tutankhamun.  At some later point, Horemheb makes a monument, now at Turin, the text describing his coronation and how he had once been "idnw" (deputy, regent or viceroy) of all the land.  I have previously suggested that, if Horemheb is the "Harmais", aka "Danaus" of the antique authors, then perhaps "Danaus" comes from "idnw".
