pꜣ-sbꜣ-ḫꜥ-n-nwt

pꜣ (“the”) +‎ sbꜣ (“star”) +‎ ḫꜥ (“appearing”) +‎ n (“in”) +‎ nwt (“city”), thus literally ‘the star appearing in the city’, a reference to Thebes.

Greek Ψουσέννης (Psousénnēs) reflects the later (Demotic-era) shift of /ḫ/ → [ʃ] in [pəsiβʃəʕənˈneːʔə]. The preposition m appears as n due to assimilation with nwt.
