cases, he acts together with his fellow ‘royal wdpw’ officials. The papyrus from Turin, Cat. 1891, gives an account of the visit of a delegation led by the ‘vizier’ Neferrenpet to Deir el-Medina on the 28" of the 3"¢ month of akhet of the 2°* year of Ramesses IV to increase the number of workmen to 120 (they had been 60 before). Besides Atumnakht, two other ‘royal wdpws’, Ramessessethherwenemef and Hori were also present. Interestingly, Ramessessethherwenemef is designated as wdpw nswt, while Hori and Atumnakht are identified simply as wdpw, furthermore, the three ‘royal wdpws’ did not follow each other directly but were separated by the ‘overseer of the treasury’ Montuemtaui, the ‘deputy’ Menna. The usage of the two variations of the functional title ‘royal wdpw’ is most probably the result of some sort of scribal feature, rather than a reference to the ranking positions of the three officials, especially as Hori was designated as wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpw’ in another document dated one month earlier (ostracon DeM 45) and it is not reasonable to assume his dismission.*°” The papyrus Turin, Cat. 2002 also renders an account of the visit by some high officials on 7" of the 2"! month of shemu in the 1* year of Ramesses V** in order to inspect the placing of some pieces of burial equipment into a royal tomb, based on the very early date during the reign of Ramesses V, presumably into that of his predecessor, Ramesses IV. There are five wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpws’ among the members of the delegation, the highest number acting together in one case, according to the available sources. Besides Atumnakht, Amenkhau, Ramessessethherwenemef, Sobekhotep and Parenakht were also present. The designation of the officials as wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpw’, which is the only known functional title of Atumnakht, fits their special commission ordered by the king.*” An ostracon from the Valley of the Kings (Cairo, CG 25311) probably also mentions him as well as his colleague Amenkhau, however, their title has been lost due to the fragmentary state of the inscription.
