In contrast to the only ‘royal wb?’ dated to Thutmose IV, several officials in this function
can be attested during the reign of his successor, Amenhotep III, both from the northern
and the southern region. One of them is Heqanakht, who presumably, served in the
palace in Memphis, however, there is scant information on his life.
Heqanakht, together with his wife, Satre, are known from a stele in Leiden (RMO
AP.19), the owner of which is jdnw n “t hng.t ‘deputy of the beer chamber’, Paimred.
The stele might have stood in his tomb. The name of his wife, Nebetnehet, ‘lady of the
sycamore’ suggests a connection with the Memphite area, as well as the place of the
tomb in the necropolis of Saqqara.*? According to Bresciani, the stele can be dated to
the time of Amenhotep III based on the double contour of the torso of the figures,
which is characteristic of the era,‘ with which dating Gessler-Lôhr also concurs. The
connection between Paimred and Heganakht is unknown, they were presumably col¬
leagues or somehow related. "7
Heganakht is designated as wb3 nswt royal wb3" and wb3 nswt w"b “.wj royal wb3 clean

176 According to Leemans, 1840, 280, Heganakht 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.
