Overseer of the Cattle or Superintendent of the Cattle (transliteration: ỉmy-r-ỉḥw) was an ancient Egyptian occupational title. The title was held by a high official who was put in charge, within a specific domain, of overseeing and supervising the Cattle Accountants who in turn inspected the cattle herders. The title is even attested for two Eighteenth Dynasty princes; Amenemhat and Khaemwaset.[1]
During the New Kingdom, the most important was the Overseer of the Sacred Cattle of Amun in the temple domain of Amun at Karnak.
