Yes, there is, as pointed out here by Dr. Troglodyte, citing Tallet, p. 10.
You objected to this on the grounds that, in your view, the term "Horizon of Khufu" did not apply to the Great Pyramid.
Tallet illustrates the relevant extract from the papyrus here (1022-3) with the details of the text including "Horizon of Khufu."

Die Pyramidenanlage mit der dazugehörigen Stadt und Königsresidenz erhielt den Namen Achet-Chufu, „Horizont des Cheops" , wobei wohl an den westlichen Horizont, den Ort des Unterganges des Sonnengottes, gedacht ist, mit dem der König sich noch direkt identifizierte.
(The pyramid complex, with the city and royal residences, was named after the "horizon of the Cheops", probably the western horizon, the place where the sun was dying, with which the king was still directly identified.)
