Kings during 1905/1906 shows a more complete state of it.* The lower right and the
upper left edges were lost somewhere between its discovery and its acquisition by the
museum. Schulman, Malek and Peden assign the stele to Nakhtamun,** however, in
the photograph the name of the owner is more visible and does not support their assump¬
tion, but makes Parenakht a potential candidate for the ownership.

Peden suggests that Parenakht also appears on the ostracon CG 25311 together with
Amenkhau and Atumnakht, without any title, however, there is no indication of his
presence in the text.

Parenakht is designated as wdpw nswt ‘royal wdpw’ on all of his remains, which in the

participation in a particular mission ordered by the ruler.’ His only other functional
title is s§ nswt ‘royal scribe’, which appears on his stele.

Genealogy: unknown

Tomb: unknown

Remains: — ostracon, Valley of the Kings, BTdK 659

visit, but not the name of the ruler himself. According to Dorn, Ramesses V, Ramesses VI
and Ramesses VII might be the candidates, most likely Ramesses VI or Ramesses VII.”
As for the name of Nebmaatreper-?, Dorn notes that all the recognizable elements of

* Peden, 1994b, 59. The only possible explanation for Peden’s assumption is that he misread the last
word of the ostracon p3 hr [...] ‘the tomb [...]’ as P3-r‘[...].
