The Pitati (Egyptian: 𓌔𓏏𓏭𓂡 pḏ.tj, Cuneiform: 𒁉𒋫𒋾 piṭāti) were a contingent of archers of ancient Egypt that were often requested and dispatched to support Egyptian vassals in Canaan.

dbo:abstract
  • Les Pitati (égyptien : 𓌔𓏏𓏭𓂡 pḏ.tj, cunéiforme : 𒁉𒋫𒋾 piṭāti) sont un contingent d'archers de l'Égypte antique, souvent sollicités et envoyés pour soutenir les vassaux égyptiens à Canaan. Ils sont enregistrés dans la correspondance des lettres d'Amarna datant des années 1350 avant notre ère, et ont souvent été requis pour se défendre contre les attaques du peuple Apirou, des rois-vassaux rebelles, et des troupes étrangères des royaumes voisins (par exemple, Hatti). Les cités vassales et les « cités-états » sollicitaient constamment la protection des armées pharaoniques, au moyen de cette « armée d'archers », qui était essentiellement une force de garnison. L'hébergement et la préparation de nourriture, boisson, paille et autres fournitures nécessaires, sont souvent exigée par le pharaon pour un petit ou un grand contingent. Les forces d'archers pitati sont constituées de mercenaires du sud de l'Égypte, le « pays de Koush » (nommé Kaša, ou Kaši dans les lettres). La première utilisation de mercenaires nubiens est faite par Ouni, vizir de la VIe dynastie pendant l'Ancien Empire, vers 2300 avant notre ère. (fr)

The vassal cities and "city-states" were constantly requesting the services (protection) of the Pharaoh's armies, by means of this "archer-army" force, basically garrison forces. A request for lodging, and preparations of food, drink, straw, and other supplies required, is often demanded by the pharaoh, for a small, or a large contingent. The pitati archer force were mercenaries from the southern Egyptian "land of Kush" (named Kaša, or Kaši in the letters). The first use of Nubian mercenaries was by Weni of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt during the Old Kingdom of Egypt, about 2300 BC. (en)
