This name (“Sobek is content”) is recorded for eight kings (ca. 1795–1670 BCE ) of the Second Intermediate Period (1795–1550) in the 13th Dynasty. It commemorates, Sobek, the Crocodile god of Shedyt (Krokodilopolis/Arsinoe), who was elevated to a state divinity in the late 12th Dynasty (Spalinger 1984a).
