Identity
Wadjitefni is attested by two stone bowl inscriptions only. These were found in the underground storages beneath the Southern Gallery within king Djoser's pyramid necropolis at Saqqara.
Titles
As a prince, Wadjitefni bore several elite and pious titularies:
Career
Next to nothing is known about Wadjitefni's career, except for his title as a prince. It is also unknown, whose son he was, since no royal name was found. Calligraphic design and diction of the inscriptions show great resemblance to other inscriptions dating back to the time of the kings Nynetjer and Weneg-Nebty. Thus, Wadjitefni may have lived and served under these two kings.
