More information Bebi in hieroglyphs ...

He is known with certainty only from a relief fragment found in the mortuary temple of the king at Deir el-Bahari.[1] The fragment is now in the British Museum. The short caption to the figure of Bebi reads: vizier, zab-official, the one belonging to the curtain Bebi. Bebi might have been the first Middle Kingdom official with that title. His successor was Dagi. Perhaps Bebi started his career as treasurer: indeed, a treasurer with the name Bebi is known from the stela of a minor official called Maati, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (acc. no. 14.2.7).[2][3]
