Biography
Nimlot was the third son of
Herakleopolis Magna (around 940 BCE) which at the time was a strategic location for the control over Middle Egypt; Nimlot also served as governor of this town. He was very devoted to the local deity Heryshaf and he issued a decree ordering the restoration of the long lost practice of making a daily sacrifice of a bull for this god.[3]
Nimlot B is further attested by a statue of unknown provenience now in the
Cairo Museum (JE 37956).[1]
His immediate predecessors and successors in the rule of Herakleopolis are unknown; the next known governor of the city was Nimlot C, who was in charge nearly a century later.[6]
