On the stela is also mentioned her daughter, the lady of the houses Nebetiunet. A king's daughter Hatshepsut is also known from a scarab seal. In 2017 there was discovered a 13th Dynasty pyramid at Dahshur. In the pyramid was found a stone slab with pyramid texts and the name of king Ameny Qemau. In the same pyramid was found a canopic box naming the king's daughter Hatshepsut.
