The name means ‘Amen is at the front of his army’, ‘Amen is the commander/chief of the army’
God’s father of Amen-Re, the king of the gods
It is broadly assumed that two other papyri BD 10230 and BA 11495 (God’s father of Amen and Chief of the Shield Bearers) belong to an Bab el Gasus Amenhatpamecha
However, since the two other papyri of the same name BD 11502 (God’s father of Amen-Re, , the king of the gods, Prophet of the Horus of Hefat, God’s father of Mut) and this one BA 10233 (God’s father of Amen-Re) are also from Bab el Gasus according to Niwinski’s research, Glenn Janes (11-2023) gives the very plausible suggestion that there may have been more than one priest named Amenhatpamecha interred at Bab el Gasus
Glenn Janes also pointed out that on 10230 and 11495 the ‘-pA-‘ is onmitted in the name. He goes even further with his research by tracing the origins of a number of types, in one of his next publications (2024-2025) he will discuss this in detail
