Sobekhotep was treasurer, but also mayor of Shedet, the capital of the Fayum. The latter title he was holding before being appointed to become a treasurer.[1] Sobekhotep was the son of the treasurer Min and followed him most likely directly in his office.[2] Sobekhotep is mainly known for his Theban tomb TT63. His wife Meryt was the nurse of the king's daughter Tiaa.[3] Her father is not known for sure, she either was the daughter of the mayor of the Faiyum Kapus[4] or the daughter of another Sobekhotep who was also mayor of Shedet.[3] His son was called Paser and was also mayor of Shedet. Otherwise, not much is known about him. He appears on a legal document that mentions also the Hathor temple at Gebelein and he is known from a statue.[5]
