Remarks:
Our Djehuty also has TT 80 and its cones, # 492 and # 618/A.07 (Hari 1983a).
Djehutynefer had three cones in total, which makes this an intriguing case study as we can hypothesise as to the reason for his possession of these three cones. Firstly, he had cone # 176 and tomb TT 104. However, he was subsequently promoted and constructed another tomb, TT 80, as well as another cone. His new cone was one of the # 492 and # 618/A.07. The two cones in question both mention the deceased's second wife, which would appear to indicate that the making of the third cone was motivated by the desire to honour his second wife.
