Findspots:

Unknown examples from near TT 55 (01-085 in Davies's notebook and 04-096 in Macadam's Green file).
One from TT 139 (01-085 in Davies's notebook and 04-096 in Macadam's Green file).
One from the MMA Ramesside temple (01-085 in Davies's notebook and 04-096 in Macadam's Green file. it probably indicates the one which is located at the foot of Montuemhat causeway excavated by Winlock (Winlock 1914 [BMMA (9 (1))])).
One from TT 48 (? 01-085 in Davies's notebook and 04-096 in Macadam's Green file).
One from the 'Areal E' in Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 129).

Remarks:

As the leftmost column has a higher background than the others, Davies thought this might indicate that a faulty column on the matrix had been erased, and then, since new text could not be introduced there, this column was made to contain the end of the text. He also thought that some examples were printed with the left column blank before the present text was cut off (01-085 in Davies's notebook and 04-096 in Macadam's Green file).
Davies and Macadam describe that the Egyptian Museum in Cairo has an example and the accession number is 58926 (01-085 in Davies's notebook and 04-096 in Macadam's Green file). However, I have consulted the register in the same museum and found that the correct number is 58296.
A stela in the Louvre C 71 may have been his. There is also a stela which may have belonged to him (Eichler 2000: 269).
See also 05-040 in Macadam's DALEX file 1, and 06-031, & 081 in his DALEX file 2.
