EL BERSHBH.
"superintendent of the priests."1 So far as
we can tell, his exalted office took him away
from the Hare nome, so that he did not hold
the princedom which his father Nehera had
held. We may suppose, also, that his tomb was
not at El Bersheh, but perhaps at the royal
city of Memphis; and it is probable that for
this reason Tehutihetep commemorated him,
together with himself, in the shrine of his own
tomb as with a cenotaph. Of the titles and
parentage of Sat-kheper-ka nothing is known,
the inscription (over her portrait on the right-
hand wall),2 which may have recorded them,
being lost.
The name of Tehutihetep's wife ^ ^
Hathor-hetep occurs three times, but her
parentage is not given. She was a hen-neter
Hether, "priestess of Hathor," and a nebt per,
"lady of the house." Next to her, in the
scene representing the female relatives of
Tehutihetep on the right-hand wall, are two
smaller figures of women, who may have been
t r\ /wvw\
his concubines, the title •¥■ _ avJchet. which
is preserved with one of them, being of un-
certain meaning.3
His children were eight in number—three
sons and five daughters. Of the sons

the eldest; his portrait is given several times
in the wall-paintings. The two younger ones
