also must have been buried in Thebes based on his funerary cone®’ — however, his tomb
has not been found. His service in Memphis is more certainly indicated by his title /34/-°
n Mn-nfr ‘mayor of Memphis’ than it is in the case of Nebamun. The title jmj-r3 snw.tj
‘overseer of the double granary’, which Qenamun also bore, was presumably associated.
with that of ‘mayor of Memphis’, since the mayor as the leader of the settlement was
responsible for agriculture and for ensuring a sufficient food supply, as well as for collect¬
ing the surplus in the form of taxes. He was also in charge of the collection and
transportation of the taxes, grain and other commodities.** The duties belonging to these
two offices required the personal presence of the official in the royal residence and Qena¬
mun’s place of function was also in Memphis.
Besides the two examples discussed above, there are three other individuals about
whom little can be ascertained regarding their place of function in the northern region
either from their titles or from their monuments. The only object that has remained
relating to Iuti, who served under Thutmose IV, is a round-topped votive stele which
was found in Giza near the Sphinx (now in Cairo, JE 72268), depicting the ruler making
an offering to Horemakhet in the upper register, and the kneeling figure of Iuti in the
pose of adoration in the lower register with two columns of inscriptions before him.”
As the purpose of the stele is votive and not funerary, it could be supposed that Iuti had
other types of ties with the northern region than having been buried there, for instance,
serving in the royal palace in Memphis. In the case of Heqanakht, dated to the reign of
Amenhotep III, the indication is even indirect, since the stele he and his wife are known
from (Leiden, AP.19) belongs to a certain Paimred and his spouse, Nebetnehet, ‘Lady of
the sycamore’, whose name suggests a connection with the Memphite area.“° However,
there is no information about the connection between Paimred and Heqanakht, they
were presumably colleagues or somehow related." Sennefer can also be dated to the
same ruler and his association with the Memphite region is based on his titles and the
presumed provenance of his monument, a sistophor block statue (now in Berlin, AM
21595), once placed in the temple of Bastet in Bubastis.# His two religious titles connected

“According to Leemans, 1840, 280, Heqanakht and his wife receive an offering from their son and
daughter in the second register, however, this kind of relationship is not plausible, since the mother
of Paimred was named as Rai in the inscription at the bottom of the stele.
