Idy (fl.c. 2260 BC) was an importantAncient Egyptian high official in theEighth Dynasty known from several sources and served the last kings of theOld Kingdom.

Family

[edit]

He was the son ofvizier and overseer of Upper Egypt,Shemay. His mother was theking's daughter Nebet, the daughter of kingKhuwihapi. Idy was apparently an adult at the time his maternal grandfather became king and his parents received titles.

Their seat of power was the Coptite Nome (5th nome of Upper Egypt) centered on the Temple of Min.

Attestations

[edit]

AtKoptos, he is known from several monuments and theCoptos Decrees, which are a series of royal decrees granting titles to the family and set up at the Temple of Min.

He was avizier, overseer of Upper Egypt,overseer of priest, andcount. The decrees are dated under kingNeferkauhor andNeferirkare. One decree (called today Koptos M) is addressed to Shemay and dates under Neferkauhor. It reports the appointment of Idy to theoverseer of Upper Egypt.[1] A second one (Koptos Q) mentions affairs in the temple ofMin at Koptos.[2] In a third decree (Koptos R), Idy bears the titles of a vizier. In the decree, the king protects the statues and the funerary cult of Idy. The decree is dated under king Neferirkare, who was the successor of Neferkauhor.[3] It seems that Idy took over many positions that his father hold before.[4]

Idy is also known from inscriptions in the tomb of his father Shemay. One inscription reports that Idy found the chapel of his father in ruins and rebuilt it.[5] A second inscription reports that kingPepi III (the latter name is partly destroyed), was sending someone to bring for him asarcophagus and stones for the father's tomb. The name of Idy is not preserved, but can be reconstructed.[6] The shipping of the sarcophagus is also depicted on one wall in Shemay's tomb. Here is also mentioned the local official andeldest king's sonUser.[7]

There is also a statue inBrussels (no. E.4355) that might belong to Idy. Here he bears the titlesgod's father, beloved of the god andhereditary prince (iry-pat).[8] There is also a rock inscription from theWadi Hammamat that most likely belongs to this Idy. Here he bears the titlesroyal sealer,sole friend,controller of priests,privy to the secret of the god's treasure. The inscription also mentions theoverseer of Upper Egypt Tjauti-iqer and reports the bringing of stones.[9]
