Titles
- Horus name: Kanakht Merymaat ("Mighty Bull who loves Equity")
- Nebty name: Wer-menu-em-per-itef-Amen-en-nepet ("Whose monuments are great in the house of his father Amun in Napata")
- Golden horus name: Ir-sankhy-rekhyu ("Who vivifies the rekhit people")
- Prenomen: Menmaatre Setepenamun ("Re is one whose equity endures, chosen one of Amun")
- Nomen: Gatisen (Aktisanes)
Gatisen had a Ramesside-style titulary. His throne name Menmaatre-Setepenamun is the same as the throne name of Ramesses II. Aktisanes' Horus name Kanakht-nerymaat is the same as the Horus name of Ramesses II (and Osorkon II and Shoshenq III). This is a second reason why he is placed by some scholars around 300 BC.
It had been assumed that in the fourth century BC, there was a Ramesside revival in Nubia. Other researchers have pointed out that the reading of the name Gatisen is uncertain. They place the king before 700 BC and assume that there was no Ramesside revival.

Famous quotes containing the word titles:
“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
“We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Lear. Dost thou call me fool, boy?
Fool. All thy other titles thou hast given away; that thou wast born with.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
