Pepi I. His precise titles include greatest of the directors of craftsmen belonging to the day of the festival of the Sun[1] (this is the main title of a high priest of Ptah), priest of Sokar in the two houses[2] and priest of Ptah.[3]
Sabu's mastaba (C 23) in Saqqara is described by Mariette. It is built of limestone. The cult chamber consists of only one room, that is decorated with agricultural scenes.[4] Here was also found a statue, showing Sabu totally naked. The statue is now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo (Catalogue Generale no. 143).
