The activity of wb3 nswt ‘royal wb3’ Hesinetjeref can be dated to the 19" dynasty, however,
without referring to any specific ruler, based on the stylistic characteristics of his frag¬
mentary block statue, now situated in Cairo (CG 569).°” Five vertical lines of inscription
occupy the front of his garment, containing a htp-dj-nswt formula, addressed to Amun
and Osiris. The inscription gives the name and titles of Hesinetjeref, as well as some
honorific titles. In addition, the ownership of two funerary cones, DM 209 and DM 545,
might also be associated with him, implying that his burial place was in Thebes.
According to his functional titles, wb3 n nswt ‘royal wbz", wb3 n nswt wb “wj ‘royal wb3
clean of hands’ and jmj-r3 jp.t nswt ‘overseer of the royal apartments’, he carried out his
duties in the royal household, in the private service of the king, however, there is nothing
to indicate which royal palace he was attached to. Another title, 8j-hw hr wnmj nswt ‘fan¬
bearer on the right of the king’, that once used to be a functional title, but during the time
it became rather an honorary one expressing the prestigious and trusted position of the
owner at the royal court, which also supports the close connection of Hesinetjeref to the
king. This intimate relationship between him and his lord probably started in their child¬
hood, as Hesinetjeref was hrd n k3p ‘child of the kap’, as his funerary cones inform us. In
addition, his titles smsw nb=frww.t=f follower of the king on his journey’ and jrj-rd.wj n
nb B.wj ‘attendant of the lord of the Two Lands’ indicate his participation in military
campaigns in the personal attendance of his lord.“* Interestingly, these titles were mainly
common during the 18" dynasty,” which is proved by the members of this corpus as
well, % during the 19" dynasty only Hesinetjeref bore them.
