Chufuchenui (also Chufu-chenui ) is the name of an ancient Egyptian official of the late 5th Dynasty during the Old Kingdom . Among other things, he was the tenant inspector and thus responsible for collecting taxes . A broken statue with his name and titles was found in Giza in what is known as the West Cemetery . She was found in shaft "D" of the mastaba G 2407 , in which Chufuchenui was also buried. It is now kept in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston under inventory number 37.638.
