The conjecture that the vizier Ankhu’s centre of life lay in Thebes has been expressed by previous scholars. This paper reviews the available evidence, complemented by a new reading of stela Cairo CG 20102 and the accounts of the smaller manuscript of pBoulaq 18. Taken together, the data suggests that Ankhu, his father, and his sons, all holding the office of the vizier, had their seat in Thebes. Given that at least one other vizier stands chronologically between Ankhu and his father, the association of Ankhu’s family with Thebes supports the hypothesis of a dual vizierate in the late Middle Kingdom; a theory long proposed but deemed unconfirmed.

以前的学者已经表达了维齐尔安库的生活中心在底比斯的猜想。本文回顾了现有证据，并辅以对 stela Cairo CG 20102的新阅读和对 pBoulaq 18 较小手稿的描述。总而言之，数据表明 Ankhu、他的父亲和他的儿子都担任着维齐尔，在底比斯有他们的座位。考虑到 Ankhu 和他父亲之间至少有另一位大臣按时间顺序排列，Ankhu 家族与底比斯的联系支持了中王国晚期双重大臣的假设；一个长期提出但被认为未经证实的理论。
