Monthemtaui was an Egyptian overseer of the treasuries of the 20th dynasty , who Ramses IV. And Ramses V. served.

He first appeared at the end of the reign of Ramses III. on. In the second year of the reign of Ramses IV. He accompanied the vizier Neferrenpet to Deir el-Medina in order to double the workforce of the necropolis to 120 men. In the reign of Ramses IV. It is occupied again for the third year. On the Papyrus Wilbour he is attested in the year 4 by Ramses V as head of the northern treasury and is named there together with Chaemtir . A last record may come from the year 3 of Ramses VI.

A small votive stele on which he worships the goddess Meretseger comes from his time under Ramses IV . The stele was erected in the settlement on the mountain pass between Deir el-Medina and the Valley of the Kings .

In addition to his title “Imi-ra-per-hedj” ( treasury manager ), he is - in contrast to Chaemtir - mentioned at least once as “Sesch-nesu Imi-ra-per-hedj” ( royal scribe [and] treasurer ).
