 The only contemporary attestation of Sobekhotep VIII is a stela found inside the third pylon at Karnak.This stela was used as construction material to fill the pylon during Amenhotep III's extensive works at the site.The stela is dated to the epagomenal, or final five days, of Sobekhotep VIII's fourth regnal year, and describes his attitude at a temple, probably that of Karnak, during a massive Nile flood
