Hori was a vizier of Ancient Egypt. He served during the reign of pharaohs Seti II, Siptah, Twosret, Setnakhte and Ramesses III.

Family

Hori was the son of the High Priest of Ptah Hori I and the grandson of prince Khaemweset, thus a direct descendant of pharaoh Ramesses II.

Biography

Hori served as Vizier from the reign of Sety II to the 16th year of Ramesses III. Hori succeeded the vizier Paraemheb in office.
Hori was likely succeeded in office by To in year 16 of Ramesses III. The successor may have also been Hewernef, but this depends on the reading of a short, unclear text written on an ostrakon from Deir el-Medina, now located in the National Archaeological Museum of Florence.
