Biography Hori served as Vizier from the reign of Sety II to the 16th year of Ramesses III.Morris L. Bierbrier, Ipuy in Cracow, Prace Archealogiczne, 1992 Hori succeeded the vizier Paraemheb in office.Hassan El-Saady, Considerations on Bribery in Ancient Egypt, Studien zur Altägyptischen Kultur, Bd. 25 (1998), pp.301 Hori was likely succeeded in office by To in year 16 of Ramesses III. The successor may have also been Hewernef, but this depends on the reading of a short, unclear text written on an ostrakon from Deir el-Medina, now located in the National Archaeological Museum of Florence.Wolterman, Charles, "A Vizier of Ramses III Visits an Oracle of Amun and Deir el-Medina".
