Ancient People

• 

  Ankh-haf (G 1234)

  • Type Mentioned on page
  • Remarks Owner of G 1234. Architectural elements (court entrance lintel, drum lintel, door jambs) inscribed for Ankh-haf, identified as [sAb aD-mr pr-aA jmj-r xntjw-S pr-aA Sps nswt] judge and administrator of the Great House, overseer of palace attendants of the Great House, noble of the king; in situ in G 1231 (= G 1234).
• Idu (G 7102)

  • Type Mentioned on page
  • Remarks Owner of G 7102. Appears multiple times in tomb decoration (chapel relief, architrave, door jambs, statuary), identified variously as [jmj-r Hwt wrt jmj-r sSw mrt xntj-S mnnfr-ppj Xrj tp nswt] overseer of the great chapel, overseer of scribes of the meret-serfs, palace attendant of (the pyramid-town) Mennefer-Pepi, he who is at the head of the king; in situ in G 7102. Possibly same individual as Idu (in G 7101), son of Qar (owner of G 7101). The relationship between Qar and Idu is difficult to determine; it seems certain that they are father and son, but it is not clear which is which since they each have a son named after the other (i.e. Qar has a son named Idu, Idu has a son named Qar). Qar (G 7101) has a sister named Bendjyt who may be identical to Bendjet, a daughter of Idu (G 7102), in which case Idu would be the father of Qar, but this is not at all certain.
