The fourth pharaoh of the First Dynasty
Also known as: Wadj · Zet · Uadji
The Horus name of pharaoh Djet is well attested, but there is a second version that in addition to the cobra sign, has a papyrus stem before it, which could be read Wadj. This second name has only been found as grafitti near Silsileh and according to Petrie, it belongs to Dynasty XIII.
The Abydos King List lists the fourth pharaoh as Ita, while the Turin papyrus lists a name ending with ..ti. The Manetho list of Africanus and Eusebius both give Uenephes.
