Heqanefer's title incorporates the deity's name 'Osiris'. It is noteworthy that Osiris had gained a considerable following in Abydos, implying that Heqanefer was possibly active in the area. Additionally, a naos, believed to belong to Heqanefer, has been discovered in Abydos. The inscription on the naos reveals that he held other titles, including jt-nTr n [...] and hrj jt-nTr n jmn, and that he had four sons named Nebnefer (whose title is 'lector-priest of Osiris Xrj-Hbt n Asjr' and 'Hrj-sA 3 nw chief of the third phyle'), Heriay, Userhat, and Amunmose, and also he had a daughter named Hesetkhetnetjeruneb (?) (Roeder 1914: 129–133 [§457–§474], Taf. 42b–43b).
