Senebi (or Senbi) was an ancient Egyptian treasurer under the 13th Dynasty kings Neferhotep I and Sobekhotep IV (around 1750 BC). Senebi belongs to the best attested officials of the 13th Dynasty.
Parents. Senebi's father was the soldier of the town regiment Nebpu. His mother was Lady of the House Tjeni.
Wife and Children. We never learn anything about his wife or children from his monuments.
We learn about Senebi's from a relatively advanced stage of his career, functioning as a king's acquaintance. The title king's acquaintance (rḫ-nswt)) indicate his high rank and function in the court hierarchy, and people with this title are often subordinates to the treasurer. It shows his status and that he had a prominent family background beloning to the Egyptian elite.
Under Neferhotep I he was appointed treasurer (overseer of sealed things). The treasurer was one of the most powerful officials at the royal court. As treasurer, in the reign of Neferhotep I, he was assisted by king's acquaintance Nebankh and king's acquaintance Rehuankh. He appears in a rock inscription on Sehel Island, south of Aswan. In this inscription he is mentioned next to the family of King Neferhotep I.
In the early stage as treasurer, his title string was sealbearer of the bjti-king (ḫtmw-bjtj), sole friend (smr-wꜥtj), and treasurer (jmj-rꜣ ḫtmt). In a later stage as treasurer, his title string was expanded to include member of the pat. (jrj-pꜥt) and governor (ḥꜣtj-ꜥ). Monuments with the full title string "jrj-pꜥt; ḥꜣtj-ꜥ; ḫtmw-bjtj; smr-wꜥtj; jmj-rꜣ ḫtmt snbj" apparently can be dated to the last part of his life, like Stela BM EA 428 and Stela Cairo CG 20614.
Senebi is known from several stelae and scarab seals, where he also bears the important ranking titles royal sealer and sole friend. [1]
The time of his death and his burial place are unknown.
He is attested by several monuments. [2]
At Abydos (north necropolis), a round-topped stela mentions his family. The stela may belong to "Memphis-Faiyum Workshop 3" along with other monuments from the same workshop. Senebi carries his full title string. Also mentioned are his assistants the King's Acquaintance Senen and King's Acquaintance Rehuankh.

Khendjer possibly reigned for four to five years, archaeological attestations show that he was on the throne for at least three or four years three months and five days.
