Parahotep is mentioned on two monuments belonging to the High Priest of OsirisWennufer. On a statue now in the Athens Museum, the city governor and vizier Rahotep is said to be the (grand-)son of the High Priest of Osiris To and to be born of Maianuy. Wennufer also included his brother Prehotep in a family monument fromAbydos. The vizierNebamun is also said to be a brother of Wennufer and Prehotep. On another monument however Nebamun is said to be a son of Ramose and Sheritre, so he is more likely to be a cousin.[1]
Prehotep is known from a stela inAbydos (Cairo Jde 19775) which depicts Prehotep with two other men and three women adoringOsiris andIsis. Acanopic jar withSelqet andQebehsenuef protecting Prehotep is now in Brussels (E. 5901).[1]
Prehotep is mentioned on Wennufer's monuments as mentioned in the section about family above.
