Necho I's Year 2 is attested on a privately held donation stela that was first published by Olivier Perdu. The stela records a large land donation to the Osirian [[triple deity|triad]] (Osiris, [[Isis]], and Horus) of Per-Hebyt (modern [[Behbeit el-Hagar]] near [[Sebennytos]]) by the "priest of Isis Mistress of Hebyt, Great Chief... son of Iuput, Akanosh."<ref>{{harvp|Perdu|2002|pp=1215–1244}}</ref>
