Verner mentions an additional son named Kafini, whose image and name were systematically removed. Ptahshepses had two sons named Ptahshespses.Miroslav Verner, Abusir: realm of Osiris, American Univ in Cairo Press, 2002 The mastaba of Ptahshepses contained two sarcophagi: one for himself, and a slightly smaller one probably meant for Khamerernebty. The sarcophagus of Khamerernebty was part of the original design of the tomb, and must have been included before the conclusion of the mastaba. Khamerernebty's name has been found on limestone blocks, being inscribed by the builders. Khamerernebty was buried in the mastaba belonging to her husband. She also had a finished burial chamber in the Mastaba of the Princesses located near the north-east corner of Nyuserre's pyramid. Khamerernebty shared the Mastaba of the Princesses with a princess named Meritites and a courtier named Kahotep. But this tomb was apparently never used.L.
