Anedjib, more correctly Adjib and also known as Hor-Anedjib, Hor-Adjib and Enezib, is the Horus name of an early Egyptian king who ruled during the 1st Dynasty. The Egyptian historian Manetho named him "Miebîdós" and credited him with a reign of 26 years,^[1] whilst the Royal Canon of Turin credited him with an implausible reign of 74 years.^[2] Egyptologists and historians now consider both records to be exaggerations and generally credit Adjib with a reign of 8–10 years.^[3]
