This is the publication of two high quality stelae, GG 22018 and GG 22050, from the Egyptian museum
in Cairo, which were found in a family tomb at the El-Hassaia necropolis near Edfu. The tomb cut out
from sandstone with inscriptions and depictions of the prince of Edfu adds an important monument
to the vast number of acquired information about ideological and organizational structures of the so-
ciety, known from the very important timespam of the twenty-sixths Dynasty. One of his titles was the
Commander of troops in Edfu. This two stelae, one offered by his son and the other one of his mother,
describe and explain two generations of his family, with further household members were the most im-
portant officials in the Late Period at the Egyptian royal court.
