Can anyone confirm the age at which the Apis bull was killed?

It says 28 in this article, but Joseph Campbell says 25. On the web there seem to be more votes for 25, but I cannot find an original source.

Ruling out one source: Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt by Lionel Casson (my favourite historian) doesn't give the age. --Damate

Civilization before Greece and Rome by H.W.E. Saggs also doesn't say... --Damate
