Pedubast's burial was found in 2015 and announced shortly after. He was most likely the grandson of the well known chief steward of the God's Wife Pabasa who was buried in another large funerary complex at Thebes (TT279). Pedubast was overseer of Upper Egypt and chief steward of the God's Wife; in the latter position he managed the estates of the God's Wife of Amun, the leading religious figure in southern Egypt at the time. Pedubast only reinscribed some parts of the burial chapel of Karabasken. It seems that he was only for a short time in office having not enough time to build an own monumental tomb. The newly decorated parts include a door frame and a sun hymn. Fragments of his coffin were found too.
