Remarks:

• Davies once had a brick (01-144 in Davies's notebook).

• Gardiner (?) suggested reading Hry wdHw, Hnk m HAt (presenting (god) with the forepart), Imn-mn, mr aHwtyw, sS nsw(t), Imn-Htp (05-018 and 023 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-069 in his DALEX file 2).

• Dewachter suggested that the owner of # 276 and # 612/A.01 might have been the same person and that Amunhotep was the son of TT 87 Nakhtmin (Dewachter 1984 [RdE 35]: 83-86). I agree with the identity of the owner between # 276 and # 612/A.01, but since # 166 has a different design, I cannot consider the cone to have been belonged to the same official at present.

• See also 05-019 & 024 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-037, 038, 073, & 081 in his DALEX file 2.
