addition, there are several mentions of two titles of which only the latter part has remained
and which could be reconstructed as [wb3 nswt] tpj n hm=f ‘first royal wb3 of the lord of
His Majesty’ and [wb3 nswt] tpj n pr-3 “nh wa} snb ‘royal wb3 of the Pharaoh, life, pros¬
perity, health’, based on the title wb3 nswt ‘royal wb?’ already known.*” At the same time,
the reconstruction of the missing part as whmw nswt ‘royal herald’ might also be possible,
since it is also frequently attested with the attribute #pj ‘first’. As for the family of
Heqamaatreneheh, there is no definite record of the identity of his wife or his son, nev¬
ertheless, Malek presumes that sm{j.t n Jmn ‘chantress of Amun’ Setyemmesut and
hrj-jhw ‘stable master’ Pensekhmet, the names of whom were on stone blocks found in
the chapel, might be candidates for these positions.*” It must be noted, however, that
because of the uncertain provenance of the blocks, these relationships cannot yet be

proven.
III.83. Nefersunu
Date: Ramesses IV — Ramesses V(?) (based on the indíviduals appearing on the
ostracon)
Genealogy: unknown
Tomb: unknown
Remains: — ostracon, Berlin, Ágyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, P 12286
Functional title: wdpw nswt

The only source for the activity of wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpw’ Nefersunu is an ostracon from
Deir el-Medina, now located in Berlin (P 12286), dated to either to the reign of Ramesses
IV or to the 1* year of Ramesses V, based on the ‘vizier’ Neferrenpet and the ‘high priest
of Amun’ Ramessesnakht, who also appear in the inscription. The fourth person men¬
tioned on the ostracon is another wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpw’ Parenakht. However, the
inscription is too fragmentary to fully reveal the mission of the delegation, the only thing
which can be confirmed is that it is linked to performing a water libation in devotion to

one or more previous kings.

possessive n pr-% ‘of the Pharaoh’ is not attested to among the examples referred in the two studies.
