 On the Turin King List he was tentatively placed in the register 4.21.The only contemporary object bearing his cartouche is a weight made from red jasper which was unearthed by Flinders Petrie at Tell el-Retabah, a location along the Wadi Tumilat in the eastern Delta; this weight is now exhibited at the Petrie Museum (UC11782).The name of a king "Nebkaure" also appears on a late Middle Kingdom papyrus (Berlin 3023) containing part of the well known and popular novel "The Eloquent Peasant"; it is very likely that the king Nebkaure who enjoyed the peasant's magniloquence so much was Nebkaure Khety indeed.
