[1] Inscriptions indicate that in year 3 of Ramesses IV (1152 BC), the overseer of cattle was one of several other high-ranking civil and military officials sent with over 7,000 workers on a quarrying expedition to Wadi Hammamat.
The overseer's role on this expedition was to secure supplies of cattle hides, which were then handed over to the army scribes to distribute to the workers.
[3] In the Wilbour Papyrus probably from year 4 of Ramesses V (1146 BC), the overseer of cattle has ultimate control over some plots of royal land (khato) and land belonging to the Pharaoh's harem, which were then placed under the administration of two layers of subordinate officials and worked collectively by local labourers.
[4] A separate overseer of cattle for the properties belonging to the Precinct of Amun-Re at Thebes existed by the reign of Thutmose II.
[5] There was another overseer of cattle in the provincial administration of Nubia under the authority of the Viceroy of Kush, during the reign of Tutankhamun.
