Pepynakht called Heqaib
Titles: Scribe of the guild of the tenants of crown-lands of the Pyramid of neferkare, Overseer of interpreters.
Inscriptions show the deeds of Pepinakht during the military campaigns of Pepi II.
"Originally Heqaib was an esteemed patron who after his death became venerated by a small group of devotees. In the XIIth Dynasty the deceased became an "honourable man" (saH), whose cult place became the stage for memorial rituals and a centre of the ancestor cult beyond the necropolis proper. Heqaib also became a patron of the expeditions south, acting as a "living-active god" (nTr anx) with divine qualities, as a saint mediating between men and gods."(Quote taken from: http://www.leidenuniv.nl/nino/aeb94/aeb94_5.html)
