Anedjib ("safe is his heart") is recorded as a Thinite (from This, near Abydos) King on the Saqqara Kings List. His tomb echoes the construction of Queen Mereneith´s. It was poorly constructed, and very small, but did include a chamber made entirely of wood (a luxury in Egypt). He is probably Manetho´s King Miebidos, who reigned for 26 years.
Anedjib was probably the first king to have a nebty (Two Ladies) title and the nesu-bit (He of the sedge and bee) name in his royal titulary, although the nesu-bit title (without a name) had already been introduced in the reign of Den. This title reunited the two divine antagonists of the north and south in the person of the king.
