EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard Gertoux

Userkare (6:2). The reign of this king is enigmatic: he was a legitimate king who reigned about 4 years between his father Teti and his younger brother Pepy I, but he is only recorded in the South Saqqara Stone. Teti's eldest son was called Ankhteti (birth name), who was appointed co-regent in Teti's last 4 years and died when his father was assassinated (Gourdon: 2016, 65-73). Consequently, Teti would have reigned alone for 14 years (2256-2242) and then 4 years (2242-2238) with his son Userkare.
