Memphis was home to many kings. King Waa-ib-Ra, also known as Apries, ruled some 600 years after Ramesses II. Here we see a massive stela erected by him dedicating lands, serfs and produce to Ptah of Memphis. The stela was discovered inside the Ptah temple.

Apries (Ancient Greek: Ἁπρίης) is the name by which Herodotus: II.161 and Diodorus: I.68 designate Wahibre Haaibre, a pharaoh of Egypt (589–570 bce), the fourth king (counting from Psamtik I) of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt. He was equated with the Ouaphris (Οὔαφρις) of Manetho, who correctly records that he reigned for 19 years. Apries is also called Hophra in Jeremiah 44:30 (Hebrew: חָפְרַע, Modern: Ḥofra', Tiberian: H̱op̄ra'; Ancient Greek: Ουαφρη[ς], romanized: Ouaphre)
