Egyptian kh could not be represented by Greek X until after it had changed

This is contradicted by the rendering of the Old Kingdom Pharaoh known in
English as Khufu in Greek as Χέοψ/Cheops. Both Cheops and Apries are found
in Herodotus, so why there would be a difference in how Egyptian ḫ/kh is
rendered is not clear.

Apries has aleph as initial, so there is no contradiction.

The point is Apries has nothing to do with kheper: it's from 'b râ = 'ab-ri"a.
