Godīs Father
The Hem-netjer-tep/High Priest is also called the First Servant of God and could in his turn delegate Second, Third and Fourth Servants of God as deputies. The brother-in-law to Amenhotep III, Aanen, was for a long time Second Prophet of Amen at Karnak and High Priest of Re-Atum. Aanenīs father Yuya was High Priest of Min at Akhim and also held the title of Godīs Father, which is believed to mean Father-in-law of the King. But "father of the god" was also used as titles for the priesthood directly below the First Servant of God and these persons often held other important duties outside the temples. Yuya was therefore Master of the Kingīs Horses and Overseer of the Cattle of the temple of Min, besides being the High Priest of Min.
