Prince Djedi

Djedi was an Egyptian prince who lived during Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. He was a son of Prince Rahotep and Nofret, grandson of pharaoh Sneferu and nephew of pharaoh Khufu. He had two brothers and three sisters.[1] He is depicted in the tomb chapels of his parents and bears there the title "King's Acquaintance".

In an ancient Egyptian tale, "Khufu and the Magicians", mention is made of a magician called Djedi or Dedi, and it is possible that this mythical person was inspired by the real prince Djedi, Khufu's nephew.[2]
