Djehuti was an ancient Egyptian high priest of Amun at the beginning of the 18th dynasty . He is the earliest civil servant ever to hold this title. Djehuti is best known for grave cones , on which he is also referred to as the head of the sealers . Pharaoh Ahmose's throne name "Neb-pechti-Re" appears on some of the grave cones , which means that Djehuti can be dated under this king. The king's name Heqatawy appears on the other grave cones.
