Sources:
- Title: Wikiwand: Dedusobek Bebi
Author: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Publication: Name: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Dedusobek_Bebi;
Note: Dedusobek Bebi {ddw-sbk bbj} was a high official of the late Thirteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. He became the "Great Scribe of the Vizier" {ss wr n t3ty}. This position was directly under the vizier acting as a deputy.
Family
He was the son of "steward" Sobekhotep and born to Hapyu. His brother was Nebankh who was "king's acquaintance" under Neferhotep I and high steward under Sobekhotep IV. His wife was Duatnefret. He was the father of queen Nubkhaes who was married to an unnamed king. She may have been buried along with king Sobekemsaf II. An important son was "Reporter of Thebes," Sobekemsaf. Another important son of Dedusobek Bebi was the "royal sealer" and "scribe of the personal scribe of the royal board" Nebsumenu.
Attestations
The name Dedusobek-Bebi also may appear in literature as Sobekdedu-Bebi.
Dedusobek is known from several sources. At Thebes, a statue of Sobekemsaf mentions "the Great One of the Tens of Upper Egypt, Dedusobek Bebi" as his father. A fragmentary base of a statue of unknown provenance mentions "the Great One of the Tens of Upper Egypt, Dedusobek Bebi, true of [voice]."
He is attested as the Great Scribe of the Vizier. At Abydos (?), he is attested as the Great Scribe of the Vizier on a stela with a hymn to Osiris.
- Title: Wikiwand: Sobekemsaf (13th Dynasty)
Author: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Publication: Name: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Sobekemsaf_(13th_Dynasty);
Note: Sobekemsaf (sbk-m-z3(w)=f; “Sobek is his protection”) was an Ancient Egyptian official of the Thirteenth Dynasty, around 1700 BC. He is especially well known from his statue in Vienna.
Family
Sobekemsaf came from an influential family. His father was the "scribe of the vizier" Dedusobek Bebi. His mother was a certain Duanofert. His uncle Nebankh, the brother of his father was high steward under Sobekhotep IV, and therefore one of the most influential officials at the royal court. The sister of Sobekemsaf was the queen Nubkhaes. She evidently managed to marry into the royal family, or her husband managed to become king. Albeit her royal husband is not yet identified for sure.
Attestation
Sobekemsaf appears on several monuments. They include a stela now in the Louvre in Paris (C13), a statue in Berlin (Inv. no. 2285), a stela in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (CG 20763) and the almost lifesize statue today in Vienna, in the Kunsthistorisches Museum (inv. no. 5801). The base of the statue is in Dublin National Museum of Ireland, Reg. No. 1889.503. On his monuments Sobekemsaf bears two titles. On the stelae in Cairo and Vienna as well as on the statue in Berlin he bears the title "overseer of the granaries." On the statue in Vienna he has the title "reporter of Thebes" (wHmw n w3st), being evidently promoted in the between times.
The Vienna statue is an important, high quality artwork. Its dating was for a long time under discussion. It was known that Sobekemsaf is the brother of a queen Nubkhaes. However, there is also a queen with the same name, known as the wife of the 17th Dynasty king Sobekemsaf II. Therefore, it was an open question whether the statue and Sobekemsaf belong to the 13th or 17th Dynasty. However, today, there is a general agreement, that Sobekemsaf dates to the 13th Dynasty, shortly after Sobekhotep IV, as most of his family members are datable around this reign.
