supporting documents

It is only known from a black granite statue ( Boston , Museum of Fine Arts 23.735), which was found in the Temple of Amun on Mount Barkal ( Napata ) and from a block that was found in pyramid Nu 14 near Nuri . The pyramid is of considerable size and it was therefore closed to a longer reign. Due to the position of its pyramid, it is dated to the middle of the 4th century BC.
