Biography Gemenefhorbak was the "Vizier of the North", meaning that he exercised his authority over Lower Egypt. He is mainly known from his meta-graywacke sarcophagus which is now in the Museo Egizio (Turin 2201); on it, the carving of a necklace with the goddess Maat is a sign of his judicial office. The sarcophagus is also carved with a chapter of the Book of the Dead, as well as Gemenefhorbak's numerous titles; here he is also provided with the rather unusual title of "Controller of the great courts" .
