also contain the name and title of the latter's
son, jmj jrtj cprw vv/J.4o) Jhj (Hammamat 30
and 132). All the texts were written in
connection with the expedition(s) during
the later part of the reign of Pepy I. The
names of both men and the title of Ikhi I
indicate that the two Ikhis attested in Wadi
Hammamat are almost certainly to be
identified with the owner of Chapel 14 and
his son. The only difference is in the titles of
the younger Ikhi II. However, it should be

expected that the inscriptions in the chapel
correspond to a later stage in the career of
Ikhi II, and therefore the title he bears there
is superior. In Chapel 14 there are two
shafts, both apparently provided with
a burial chamber at the bottom. Presum-
ably both Ikhi I and Ikhi II were buried
there. Thus, it seems that the chapel was the
resting .place — and thus a more complete
record — of the two officials previously
known only through their achievements.
