Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 345.
The design and number of titles on the cones of # 122 and # 345 are distinct, yet this does not elucidate the chronology of their acquisition. While # 345 only mentions that Ray had three titles, # 122 mentions two additional titles, yet this does not substantiate the acquisition of these two titles subsequent to the acquisition of # 345.
# 84, # 88 # 94, # 111, # 120, and # 122 have vertical lines with the name of the owner at the bottom. Among them, # 84, # 88, and # 120 are dated to the reign of Hatshepsut.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a statue which may have been belonged to our Roy (Acc. no. 17.190.1960. See also Winlock 1920 [JEA 6]). If so, our cone can be dated to the reign of Amunhotep II. Another statue of a certain Roy which could also be attributed to our cone is discussed by the JEA editor (JEA Editor 1920 [JEA 6]). This second statue seems to date from the reign of Thutmose I or shortly thereafter as the brother of the owner is named Aakheperkare, the king's prenomen.
Macadam translated gs-pr as 'administrative office' (04-033 in Macadam's Green file and 06-091 in his DALEX file 2).
See also 05-096 in his DALEX file 1, and 06-053, 055, 081, 087, & 099 in his DALEX file 2.
