Titulature

Reign

It reigns only on the Low-Egypt. He is the son of Sheshonq {{III}} and Tentamenopet.

In year 2 of its reign, a Apis dies and is buried with Saqqarah. On the stele that Pimay affixed on the wall of the vault prepared for the god with the Sérapéum, it is specified that Apis had appeared in year 28 of Sheshonq and that it lived 26 years. This invaluable information makes it possible to establish a precise chronology reigns of this period thus attesting the longevity of the reign of his/her father, and that so certain cities of the delta showed increasingly marked signs of autonomy, the dynastes of Tanis kept the control of the institutions of the state even the control of the country until Memphis.

At all events the reign of Pimay lasted only 6 years and with its continuation the situation worsened still a little more, anarchy having truly settled in Low-Egypt letting predict the major events which will proceed a few decades later and will find their end with the invasion Kouchite.

Only some objects the representative were found in the delta. The British Museum has a statuette bronzes of it Pimay representative as a Pharaon crowned of the Hedjet, and offering, knelt in an attitude of respect, the Nou vases with an unknown divinity.

Burial

It is possible that it was buried in the necropolis royal of Tanis because a Ouchebti with its name was found there.
