Ramessesashahebused is known from several free-standing stelae from Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai and one rock-stele from Abu Simbel, and based on the cartouches that appear on these monuments he can be dated with some certainty to the reigns of Sety I and Ramesses II. The two versions of his name, Ashahebused and Ramessesashahebused, as well as his titles wdpw nswt and wb3 nswt, might cause confusion, nevertheless, the two names and the two titles belong to the same person, and an explanation can be given based on the nature of the inscriptions they appear in. Spalinger devoted a separate study to the chronology of the monuments of Ramessesashahebused, giving a framework of his life and activities under the rulers mentioned above.“ Four stelae from Serabit el-Khadim, as well as the rock-stele on the wall of the small temple in Abu Simbel can be connected to him for certain. In addition, another stone block, also from Serabit el-Khadim (No. 253),°° depicts the figure of Bj-hw 'fan-bearer’ 83 Schulman, 1976, 123, 129, n. 56; Spalinger, 1980, 215. 4 Spalinger, 1980. 85 Gardiner — Peet — Cernÿ, 1952’, pl.
