Meritites Mrj.t jt=s Beloved of her father |
Meritites IV was a queen from the 6th dynasty and a wife of Pepi I Meryre. Her title King’s Daughter of his body of Pepy-Mennefer (s3t-niswt-nt-kht.f-ppy-mn-nfr) may indicate she was also a daughter of Pepi I Meryre. One more evidence for that theory is that her name means "Beloved of her father".
Her titles include: Great one of the hetes-sceptre, She who sees Horus and Seth (m33t-hrw-stsh), Great of Praises (wrt-hzwt), King’s Wife (hmt-nisw), King’s Wife, his beloved (hmt-nisw meryt.f), and Companion of Horus (smrt-hrw).
Meritites IV was buried in Saqqara. Her pyramid lies to the south of the pyramid of Pepi I. Meritites' pyramid lies to the southwest of the complex of Queen Inenek-Inti and to the south of the queen's pyramid referred to as the "Southwestern pyramid".
