Life

The Berlin genealogy dating to the 22nd/23rd dynasty states that Neferronpet was the son of Ptahemakhet.[1] The Pyramidion from Liverpool names Neferronpet's son the God's Father of Ptah Bakenptah, Neferronpet's wife Mutpipu and four daughters: Inuhayet, Taweretkha'ti, Res(et), and Henutmeter.[2] As Vizier Neferronpet succeeded Khay in office.

Neferronpet is attested on: [3]

He may have been succeeded by Rahotep as both Vizier and High Priest of Ptah.
