He is mentioned on two graffiti on the Sehel Island along with the throne name of Amenhotep II.[1]: 138  One of the graffiti depicting the prince is mistakenly thought to depict Senenmut by locals.[2]: 144–5 

Khaemwaset is titled Overseer of cattle,[1]: 138  which was a rare title for a prince.[1]: 19
