During the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty, mercenaries and foreign soldiers served as combatants in the Egyptian army. They were first attested during the reign of Psammetichus I and their presence increased constantly. They came from mainland Greece, the Aegean Islands, Caria, Lydia, Libya, Kush, Phoenicia, Aram, Israel, and Judah.
