Abstract :
[en] This paper presents the Middle Kingdom funerary stela Edinburgh A.1951.344, commemorating the scribe of the ḫnrt wr Senebeni, in its association with other monuments recording Senebeni and his son, the scribe of the ḫnrt wr Sobekhotep: Cairo CG 20145, Guimet C8, Marseille 228, and Tübingen 458. These stelae are important sources for the exploration of kinship ties and working relationships of individuals associated with different
administrative units during the late Middle Kingdom. Special emphasis will be given to the institution ḫnrt wr, whose roles can be better defined by examining the type of function titles held by relatives and colleagues of Senebeni and Sobekhotep.
