Remarks:
EMC possesses a statue of our Nakht (Legrain 1908: 47-48), which suggests that Nakht has been active during the reign of Hatshepsut.
This museum also has a stela belonging to Nakht. According to the inscription (CG 34048. Lacau 1909: 82-84), Nakht's parents were Kamis and Sebeknakht, and his wife was named Senhotep. Kamis, who was the owner of # 207, is also mentioned (Kees 1960 [ZAS 85]: 45). For more details about this stela, see Brandt 2016 (Teil II): 182-185).
The family is also represented by a stela in the MMA collection (Inv. # 17.2.6, Hayes 1990: 172-173, Fig. 94). See Habachi 1968 for an overview of this family's genealogy.
According to Dewachter's theory (Dewachter 1984 [RdE 35]: 86-87), Kamis, the owner of # 207, was the same person as TT 398 Kamose, also known as Nentawaeref, whose cones were # 13, # 118 and # 119. However, it is doubtful that # 207 belonged to TT 398 Kamose. Also, it is worth noting that the seal's inscription of # 13 is entirely distinct from both # 118 and # 119. Furthermore, examples of # 13 have been discovered much farther away from TT 398. I think it is not too late to regard this Kamis as identical to that Kamose, should further evidence—such as the discovery of multiple examples around TT 398—come to light. See 'Remarks' sections of # 13, # 118, # 119 and # 207 for more details.
