Teti

 Dynasty VI

Titi's name can be found on the Abydos (34) and Saqqara (26) king lists, and is also present on Manetho's king list asOthoes. The place of his name in Turin papyrus (5.1) is damaged and the name is unreadable, only preserving the number of months and days of his reign. His name might also be found on the Karnak king list (14) but that too is badly damaged and the reading is uncertain.
