 When the Thebans extended their influences on Thinis and Abydos, the Herakleopolite pharaoh (who is generally believed to be Wahkare Khety) and Tefibi rallied their troops, and swiftly regained Thinis.Their undisciplined soldiers sacked the sacred necropolis, as reported by the king himself in the "Teaching for King Merykare".Tefibi died during the reign of king Merykare, who installed Khety II, son of the deceased, as nomarch in Asyut.
