Nebneteru's wife Merytre was "Chief of the Harem of Amun". Nebneteru and Merytre are known from monuments of their son, the vizier Paser. They are mentioned in TT106, the tomb of Paser, "Governor of the Town" and Vizier as well as on statues belonging to him.[1]

Another son of Nebneteru Tjenry and Merytre is mentioned in the tomb of Paser. A man by the name of Titi(a), "Steward in the temple of Maat" is shown. Nebneteru's in-laws are mentioned as well. Merytre was the daughter of Aniy and born of the lady Nuia.

On a statue of Paser from Memphis, Merytre is said to come from Memphis (Hutkaptah). Nebneteru is mentioned on the statue as well and his titles are given as: "High Priest of Amun in Southern Heliopolis" (i.e. Thebes) and "Sem–Priest in the Temple of Ptah".[1]

The stamped text on a mudbrick now at the National Archaeological Museum of Florence (inv. no. 2641) reads:

gollark: At least you can still probably get IRC on port 6697.
gollark: That seems worryingly plausible.
gollark: I'm pretty sure I remember there being some vulnerabilities in older Qualcomm wireless chips/drivers, patches for which will just never reach most of the affected stuff.
gollark: It would be especially great if, like phones now, your car just didn't get security patches after 5 months, and gained an ever-growing pile of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.
gollark: They should probably just not have network access, except for a wired connection to upload maps and such. Unfortunately, someone will definitely do something stupid like... have a 4G connection in it for interweb browsing, make the entire thing run some accursed Android derivative and put the self-driving code on there too, and expose that to the user, and make it wildly insecure.
