The Karnak King List 50 (52) dating to the time of Thutmose III, mentions "Merhotepre" between Sewahenra (49) and Wegaf (51).

[9] In this king list he was preceded by Merneferre Ay (8:03) and succeeded by Sankhenra Sewadjtu (8:05).

[10] The reason for this appointment was due to the unexpected death of the childless Governor of El-Kab Aya-junior who was Vizier Aya's eldest son and Ayameru's elder brother.

[11] The Cairo Juridical Stela records the sale of the office of the governorship of El-Kab to a certain Sobeknakht.

In particular, Reditenes being possibly a sister of Merhotepre Ini, his appointing Aya (thus his brother-in-law) to the vizierate would bring the position into his own family.
