Kheti was an ancient Egyptian vizier of the Twelfth Dynasty under king Amenemhet III, who ruled around 1800 BC.
Kheti is known from a papyrus fragment dated to the 29th year of the reign of that monarch. [1] He is the only vizier who can be specifically dated to the rule of Amenemhat III.
In the Installation of the Vizier, a text referring to the office of the vizier, found in several New Kingdom tombs, there is mentioned a famous vizier named Kheti. About him it is said: "He impoverished his associates for the benefits of others".[2] It seems possible that both sources refer to the same person.[3]
