Pediese
The Ancient Egyptian known as Pediese, married to the great-great-granddaughter of Shoshenq III, was one of a number of princes ruling Lower Egypt towards the end of the eight century BCE. He was of Libyan descent, a chief of the Ma. After Piye conquered Memphis, Pediese surrendered his residence Athribis and may well have been instrumental in bringing about the surrender of most of the other chiefs and kings ruling the Nile delta.
