介绍（中）	Khety是Mentuhotep II（约公元前2051-2000年）第一位有记录的皇家财务主管（"密封的监督者"）。皇家财务主管直接隶属于法老，与维齐尔和首席皇家管家处于同一水平。Khety墓位于Deir el-Bahri悬崖的高处，靠近国王的太平间建筑群。这些浮雕碎片曾经排列在坟墓的入口通道上。古埃及人饲养宠物猴子（狒狒以及更纤细的盖农）是为了娱乐和作为身份的象征。这些动物在房子周围玩耍，并陪同主人郊游。在国外旅行期间，他们用恶作剧逗乐了水手。来自Khety墓的碎片可能属于这种海上航行的代表，猴子在船上乱跑。在最右边，一只狗走在弓箭手旁边;在中间，靠近一个大容器，两只猴子似乎在互相攀爬。其中一名男子手臂上出现的疤痕是一个谜。那个人被猴子反复咬了吗？部分可能是动物的形象保存在手臂下方。这个场景的一部分在一个角落的街区;在垂直的表面上可以看到铭文的残骸（见26.3.354a）。另请参阅 26.3.354a、dd、l 和 q。
介绍（英）	Khety was the first recorded royal treasurer (“overseer of what is sealed”) of Mentuhotep II (ca. 2051–2000 B.C.). Royal treasurers ranked directly under the pharaoh, on the same level with the vizier and the chief royal steward. The tomb of Khety was situated high up in the cliffs at Deir el-Bahri, near the mortuary complex of the king. These relief fragments once lined the tomb’s entrance passage. The ancient Egyptians kept pet monkeys (baboons as well as the more slender guenons) for amusement and as status symbols. These animals played around the house and accompanied the master on outings. During trips abroad they amused the sailors with their pranks. Fragments from the tomb of Khety may belong to the representation of such a sea voyage with the monkeys running loose around the ship. On the very right, a dog walks beside an archer; in the center, near a large container, two monkeys seem to be climbing on top of each other. The scars that appear on the arm of one of the men are a mystery. Was the man bitten repeatedly by a monkey? Part of what might be the figure of an animal is preserved below the arm. Part of this scene is on a corner block; the remains of an inscription can be seen on the perpendicular face (see 26.3.354a). See also 26.3.354a, dd, l, and q.
