QA'A

One of the main interests in the labels of Qa'a is that they show at least two different Nebty (?) names: Sen-Nebty (written in two forms), and Sehotep-Nebty. Qa'a 16 has the Nswt-bity name Qa'a-Nebty as found inscribed on various stone vessels. After the reign of this king the year labels suddenly fell in disuse.
