Hetepi
Hetepi was the only friend and subordinate of the priests ( sḥḏ Ḥmw-nṯr ) in the ancient Egyptian First Intermediate Period , around 2100 BC. He probably officiated in Qus . Hetepi is only known from a stele that is now in the National Archaeological Museum in Florence , but probably comes from Naqada , where the Qus cemetery was located. The stele was bought by Ernesto Schiaparelli in 1884–1885. As the priest's subordinate , Hetepi also had secular duties to perform and was practically the local governor in Qus. Dagi , his son, also appears on the stele , who was also the priest's subordinate and probably followed his father in office. Finally, on the stele, Hetepi's wife Anchnesites is named. It bore the title of the only royal jewelry .
