thumb|The entrance to Paheri’s tomb, EK3, near Elkab Paheri is primarily known for his finely decorated Rock tomb of Elkab (EK3). His tomb had been rediscovered by a European Egyptian expedition in 1799. James Burton subsequently published the contents of the two walls of its tomb chamber in 1825. He bore the titles "Mayor (ḥ3.tj-ˁ) of Elkab" and "Mayor of Esna." His father, the scribe Atefrura, was already documented as the educator of the king's son," Wadjmose; Paheri, hence, had close ties to the Egyptian royal family.
