Hori was a Vizier of Ancient Egypt. He served during the reign of pharaohs Sethi II, Siptah, Tawosret, Setnakhte and Ramesses III.[1]

Family

Hori (II) was the son of the High Priest of Ptah Hori I and the grandson of Prince Khaemweset. And hence a direct descendant of Pharaoh Ramesses II.[2]

Biography

Hori served as Vizier from the reign of Sety II to the 16th year of Ramesses III.[3] Hori succeeded the vizier Paraemheb in office.[4]
Hori was succeeded in office by the Vizier To by year 16 of the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses III.[3] Perhaps another vizier, possibly of the North of Egypt and named Hewernef, also succeeded Hori during the reign of Ramesses III, but this depends on the reading of a short, unclear text written on an ostrakon from Deir el-Medina which is now in the National Archaeological Museum of Florence (inv. no. 2619).[5]
