Setjet

The Setjet (Egyptian: Sṯt) were a people in conflict with the early Egyptian rulers of the First Dynasty of Egypt.^[1] One of the year labels of Pharaoh Djer mentions the "smiting (the land of) Setjet".^[1] Setjet was presumably a region to the northeast, or a region of Western Asia.^[1][2]

Seth-Peribsen of the Second Dynasty of Egypt is also mentioned as a conqueror of Setjet, which might have been in this case the city of Sethroë (Heracleopolis Parva).^[3]
