[4] According to Jürgen von Beckerath, Pantjeny is to be identified with Sekhemrekhutawy Khabaw, whom he sees as the third king of the 13th Dynasty.

[5] Pantjeny is known from a single limestone stela "of exceptionally crude quality"[2] found in Abydos by Flinders Petrie.

[4] In his study of the Second Intermediate Period, Kim Ryholt elaborates on the idea originally proposed by Detlef Franke that following the collapse of the 13th Dynasty with the conquest of Memphis by the Hyksos, an independent kingdom centered on Abydos arose in Middle Egypt.

[6] The Abydos Dynasty thus designates a group of local kinglets reigning for a short time in central Egypt.

The Egyptologist Marcel Marée rejects Ryholt's hypothesis and instead holds that Pantjeny is a king of the late 16th Dynasty.
