Nebiriau I was a pharaoh of Egypt of the 16th or 17th Theban dynasty based in Upper Egypt during the Second intermediate period. He reigned for 16 years according to the Turin Canon and was succeeded by Nebiriau II who may have been his son.[1] All the published seals of Nebiriau I were made of clay or frit rather than steatite which implies there were no mining expeditions dispatched to the Esatern Desert region of Egypt during his reign.[2] Two seals of this king were found at Lisht deep in Hyksos territory which might imply diplomatic contact between the Theban dynasty and the Hyksos during Nebiriau I's reign although this is uncertain.[3]
Tomb T10 at Elkab where the inscription was discovered is the son of the Sobeknakht who is attested in the Cairo Juridical Stela dating to Year 1 of Sewadjenre Nebiriau I. At this time, this latter Sobeknakht purchased the Governorate of Elkab from Kebsi. Kebsi in turn was the son of Governor(later Vizier) Aymeru and Grandson of Aya who was appointed Vizier in Year 1 of Merhotepre Ini of the 13th Dynasty. This wld mean that the owner T10 was Sobeknakht II. Accordingly, also if Sobeknakht I first purchased his office in Year 1 of Nebiriau I--who is given a reign of 26 Yrs by the Turin Canon--his son wld have served during the final years of Nebiriau I, Nebiriau II and, of course, Seuserenre Bebiankh (given 12 yrs by the Turin Canon).
