Page "Djedkare Isesi" Paragraph 27

An entire series of dated administrative papyri from Djedkare's reign was discovered in king Neferirkare's mortuary temple.

According to Miroslav Verner, Djedkare Isesi's highest known date is a Year 22 IV Akhet day 12 papyrus, which would belong anywhere from Year 32 to Year 44 of his reign depending on whether the Cattle Count was Bi-annual ( 2 times ) or semi-annual ( 1. 5 times ).

Djedkare Isesi's reign is well documented by the Abusir Papyri, numerous royal seals and contemporary inscriptions ; taken together, they indicate a fairly long reign for this king.
