Apepi II, (Also Aqenienre Apepi or Apepi II) was a Hyksos ruler of Lower Egypt during the end of the Second Intermediate Period. His domain was much reduced from his predicessor, Apepi I, and his name is not found on any objects south of Bubastis besides a dagger which turned up on the Antiquities market in Luxor, but was probably not found in the area.[1]
Rather than building his own monuments, he wrote his own name over two sphinxes of Amenemhat II and two statues of Smenkhkare.[2] He was defeated by Ahmose I who drove out the Hyksos and established the 18th Dynasty.[3]

However, Aqenienre Apepi may or may not have been another name for Awoserre Apepi, in which case both Awoserre and Aqenienre were two names for the same person.
