Stela of Tjetji, Egyptian, 11th Dynasty, c2070 BC. The upper text in horizontal lines is an autobiographical inscription. The vertical text is a prayer for offerings. This genre gives an idealized account of an official's character and career, and is not necessarily reliable as 'historical' evidence. However, it does mention that Tjetji served as chief treasurer under Inyotef II when he controlled Upper Egypt, and then under his son Inyotef III.
