This article attempts to clarify the position of N.y-Ppy, an almost unknown figure. We postulate that he was a vizier of the mid-sixth dynasty. We proof our case by comparing N.y-Ppy's titles with those of the viziers mrr.w-kA and xnt.y-kA. Furthermore, we solidify our hypothesis by examining the use of the titles imA-a, ir.y nfr HA.t and xrp iAts km.
