Meketre is first attested in a rock inscription in the Wadi Shatt el-Rigala, bearing the simple title sealer.

On reliefs from the mortuary temple of the same king in Deir el-Bahari Meketre bears the title of chancellor and was evidently promoted in the meantime, succeeding Kheti.

The tomb (TT280) is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, and lies next to a large, unfinished royal tomb which was originally attributed to king Mentuhotep III and, after new research, to Amenemhat I.

[2] Meketre's tomb TT280 contained several wooden replicas, representing the daily activities and life in Ancient Egypt, together with figurines of ships and cattle were, miniature buildings and gardens.

[3] Selections of the replicas and other items from the tomb are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
