The tomb of [TRANSLITERATION] [Khufukhaf I] cannot be very far from G 7130 where, in pit X, was found a fragment belonging to him. [TRANSLITERATION] [Minankh] is probably also near, possibly in G 7230 (?) for a fragment of his came from the same site.
It is noteworthy that all the named mastabas of the original grouping of streets belonged to sons and daughters of Khufu and their consorts, and that none seem to have belonged only to prominent or powerful officials.
The family of Khufu now appears as
