Osarseph
Osarseph or Osarsiph () is a legendary figure of Ancient Egypt who has been equated with Moses. According to Josephus, the 1st century CE Jewish polemicist, the story of Osarseph was recounted by the Ptolemaic Egyptian priest Manetho in his Aegyptiaca (first half of the 3rd century BC). Manetho's work is lost, but Josephus relates extensively from what he maintains are epitomes of the original.
