ng him as having been the immediate successor of Unas.

* Ati is known only from the Hammamat, inscription dated in
the first year of his reign. He was identified by Brugsch
with the Othoes of Manetho, and this identification has been
generally adopted. M. de Rouge is inclined to attribute to
him as _praenomen_ the cartouche Usirkeri, which is given in
the Table of Abydos between those of Teti III. and Papi I.
Mariette prefers to recognize in Urikeri an independent
Pharaoh of short reign. Several blocks of the Mastabat-el-
Faraun at Saqqara contain the cartouche of Unas, a fact
which induced Mariette to regard this as the tomb of the
Pharaoh. The excavations of 1881 showed that Unas was
entombed elsewhere, and the indications are in favour of
attributing the mastaba to Ati. We know, indeed, the
pyramids of Teti III., of the two Papis, and of Metesouphis
I.; Ati is the only prince of this period with whose tomb we
are unacquainted. It is thus by elimination, and not by
direct evidence, that the identification has been arrived
at: Ati may have drawn upon the workshops of his predecessor
Unas, which fact would explain the presence on these blocks
of the cartouche of the latter.

** Upon that of Abydos, if we agree with E. de Rouge that
the cartouche Usirkeri contains his praenomen; upon that
from which Manetho borrowed, if we admit his identification
with Othoes.

*** Manetho (Unger's edition, p. 101), where the form of the
name is Othoes.

**** He is called Teti Menephtah, with the cartouche
praenomen of Seti I., on a monument of the early part of the
XIXth dynasty, in the Museum at Marseilles: we see him in
his pyramid represented as standing. This pyramid was opened
in 1881, and its chambers are covered with long funerary
inscriptions. It is a work of the time of Seti I., and not a
contemporary production of the time of Menkauhoru.

He lived long enough to build at Saqqara a pyramid whose internal
chambers are covered with inscriptions,* and his son succeeded him
without opposition. Papi I. reigned at least twenty years.**

* The true pronunciation of this name would be Pipi, and of
the one before it Titi. The two other Tetis are Teti I. of
the Ist dynasty, and Zosir-Teti, or Teti II., of the IIIrd.
