supporting documents

The king ruled for three years and a month and an unknown number of days. Two of his statues were found in the Karnak cachette . On the statues he is called Mersechemre and Neferhotep. In the royal papyrus Turin, 7.6 a Mer-Sechem-Re Ined appears and in the king list of Karnak (VI 2) a Mer-Sechem-Re. The identification of these documents as a single ruler follows from Beckerath Ryholt sees two different rulers in these documents.
