Cf. Aubert, J-F. & Aubert, L., Statuettes Égyptiennes. Chaouabtis, Ouchebtis, Paris, 1974, p. 217 Janes, G., Shabtis. A Private View, Ancient Egyptian Funerary Statuettes in European Private Collections, Paris, 2002, pp.167-168, no. 87 (includes the transliteration) Schneider, H.D., Shabtis - An Introduction to the History of Ancient Egyptian Funerary Statuettes.

Aubert suggests that Pa-di-pepet lived during the reign of Psamtek I or Necho in the early 26th Dynasty. His tomb was discovered in 1893 in Saqqara, west of the pyramid of Teti and east of that of Weserkaf. Soon after, his shabtis were officially sold to tourists at the Bulaq Museum (the predecessor of the current Egyptian Museum in Cairo). As a result, shabtis for Padipepet can be found in museums as well as in private collections all over the world. His alabaster canopic jars are in Cairo Museum.
