Since the discovery of the wand, several Egyptologists have tried to identify this king with other rulers of the Second Intermediate Period. Stephen Quirke believed that "Sebkay" was a diminutive for "Sedjefakare", which is the throne name of Kay-Amenemhat,[4] while Jürgen von Beckerath considered the name a short form of the nomen "Sobekhotep" instead.[1] Thomas Schneider supports von Beckerath's hypothesis, specifying that the king Sobekhotep likely was Sobekhotep II.[5] A more radical hypothesis came from Kim Ryholt, who suggested the reading "Seb's son Kay", de facto splitting the name "Seb-kay" in two different pharaohs and thus filling a gap in the Turin King List before Kay-Amenemhat. In 2014, at Abydos, a team of archaeologists discovered the tomb of a previously unknown king of the Second Intermediate Period, called Senebkay.
