Miscellaneous tasks Besides the thematised duties discussed previously, there are two cases where the officials acted on the order of the ruler in very different matters. Maatmen appears in a model letter from the reign of Ramesses II (London, EA 10244)” in which two lieutenants of the army, Any and Bakenamun informed him of the command of the king as they had to transport three stelae to the place where the official currently stayed — unfortunately, it is not named in the text — so that he could erect them on their places, according to Gardiner, probably in the Syrian territory to propagandize the power of the ruler.” Even if it cannot be ascertained whether the text describes a real occasion or a fictional one, one may assume that the characters were real and known persons, as well as the case in which a ‘royal wdpw’ normally proceeds. While Maatmen rendered the ruler a service at the north-eastern border of the country, Ines, who otherwise, acted in the judiciary concerning the tomb robberies under Ramesses XI, was sent to the southern territory to Panehsy, the ‘viceroy of Nubia’. The ruler commanded Panehsy to cooperate with Ines to fulfil his commands concerning the transportation of a portable shrine, as well as Hori on p. 221, Nesamun on p. 242, or Neferkareemperamun on p. 244.
