The stélé was that of a priest of the martial god Mentu, one Ankh-f-n-khonsu from Thebes (the present-day Luxor).
It was thought to be of the 26th dynasty but is now variously attributed (the chronology debate being what it is; and the third intermediate period, as its known, being one of turmoil and confusion) to dynasties as early as the 23rd.

Also Ankh-af-na-Khonsu was the priest of Mentu or Monthu, the Lord of Thebes, and the prophet of Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
In the book there is a reference to Ankh-af-na-Khonsu who was a prophet of Mentu, the prophet of Ra-Hoor-Khuit (Ra-Harakhti), and overseer of the seal of the estate of Mut (some claim that this is a reference to being the Lord of Thebes).
Also it seems that Ankh-af-na-Khonsu V was an industrious person, because he acquired new offices that did not pertain directly to the cult of Mentu such as the prophet of Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
