Findspots:

• Unknown examples from the southern Dra Abul Naga (Northampton etc. 1908: 4, Pls. 2, 25. Exact location unknown. cf. Delgado 2005 [BAEDE 15]: 92).

• One example of this cone or # 179 from MIDAN.05, the tomb adjacent to TT 14 (Betrò and Vesco 2006 [EVO XXIX]: 26).

• 16 from the TT 11–12 area during the first five seasons of the Spanish-Egyptian mission (Galán and Borrego 2006 [Memnonia 17]: 205).

• Each example from 'Areal E' and 'Areal H' in Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 140).

• One from the tomb -150- (Beabesh 2017: 71).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 179.

• The dimensions, design, findspots, textual content and inscription style of # 146 and # 179 suggest that the maker of the two is the same and that they were created at the same time. The rationale behind the necessity for two cones, despite the similarities in their contents, remain unclear and require further investigation.

• His tomb will probably be discovered somewhere around TT 11 in the near future.
