Mershepsesre Ini is attested only by a single inscription, giving his nomen and prenomen carved on the lower half of a statue which originated from the precinct of Amun-Ra in Karnak.

[1] The exact chronological position of Mershepsesre Ini is uncertain, although he must have reigned at the end of the 13th Dynasty.

In his reconstruction of the Second Intermediate Period, Kim Ryholt does not give any position to Mershepsesre Ini due to a lack of evidence.

In the new arrangement,[5] Mershepesre Ini's predecessor is Sewadjare Mentuhotep V and his successor is Mersekhemre Neferhotep II.

Jürgen von Beckerath instead gives the "Mer...re" of the Turin canon as the predecessor of Mershepsesre Ini and his successor as Merkheperre.
