The Assyrians converted a large proportion of the country into a network of polities directly vassal to Assyria.²²⁹ At least some of the governors of these city-states were scions of the old Libyan–Egyptian provincial chiefs, royalty, and nobility,²³⁰ including Nekau (I) of Sais,²³¹ Padubast III²³² at Tanis, Shoshenq (F) of Busiris, Nimlot E at Hermopolis, Nespamedu A at Thinis, and Montjuemhat at Thebes. This Assyrian hegemony was, nevertheless, short-lived, as by 669 Taharqa had returned to Memphis, prompting Esarhaddon to once more march west, only to fall ill and die that November, while still in Palestine.²³³
