It seems that Meryibre ruled over his neighboring nomarchs with an iron fist, and it is likely for this reason that in later times this ruler became Manetho's infamous Achthoes, a wicked king who went insane and then was killed by a crocodile.
Tampaknya Meryibre memerintah atas nomark tetangganya dengan tinju besi, dan kemungkinan karena alasan inilah nantinya penguasa Manetho yang terkenal itu adalah Achthoes, seorang raja jahat yang menjadi gila dan kemudian terbunuh oleh seekor buaya.
