Sobekhotep IV
| He states on a stela found in the Amun temple at Karnak that he was
born in Thebes. Some sources indicate that under his reign, a military
campaign against Nubia occurred.
The king is believed to have reigned for around 10 years. He is known
by a relatively high number of monuments, including stelae, statues,
many seals and other minor objects. There are attestations for building
works at Abydos and Karnak.
Sobekhotep IV's wife was the 'king's wife' Tjan. Several children are
known. The royal court is also well known. Vizier was Neferkare Iymeru.
Treasurer was Senebi and high steward a certain Nebankh.

Birth name: Ibiau
Wahibre Ibiau is an Egyptian king of the 13th Dynasty, who reigned for 10 years, 8 months and 29 days according to the Turin King List. He is not known from many contemporary monuments.

| | Merneferre Ai |
Merneferre Ai or Ay was an Ancient Egyptian ruler of the Thirteenth dynasty of Egypt. He assumed the throne around 1700 BC.
His reign length--as preserved in the damaged Turin King List--was disputed in the past with Jürgen von Beckerath reading the damaged figure on the papyrus fragment as only 13 years in his 1964 work Untersuchungen zur politischen Geschichte der zweiten Zwischenzeit in Ägypten, while both Alan Gardiner--in The Royal Canon of Turin (1959)--and Kenneth Kitchen in his 1987 paper 'The Basics of Egyptian Chronology in Relation to the Bronze Age at the ' "High, Middle or Low"' University of Göteborg convention maintained that it was 23 Years.
The latest examination of the damaged figure by Kim Ryholt confirms that it must be read as 23 Years.
Ryholt stresses in his 1997 book on the Second Intermediate Period that "the tick that distinguishes 20 and 30 from 10 is preserved and beyond dispute.
Accordingly, 23 years or, less likely, 33 years must be read.", Therefore, Ai's reign length was 23 Years, 8 Months and 18 days (Ryholt: p.192). This marks him out as the longest serving Pharaoh of the 13th Dynasty--a time when numerous short-lived kings ruled Egypt.
