set off (cf. Kitchen 1982 : 90 – 91 ). There have been suggestions that Thutmosis III actually
met a Babylonian king after his campaign of 1446 BC, but this is based on several mis-
understandings and does not correspond to anything in the Egyptian sources. The Egyptian
sources merely suggest that a Mitanni king fled before Thutmosis into the interior of his land
(which Thutmosis III did not penetrate), and do not suggest a meeting with either that king
or any other.
