Findspots:

• One example of this cone or # 146 from MIDAN.05, the tomb adjacent to TT 14 (Betrò and Vesco 2006 [EVO XXIX]: 26).

• 11 from TT 11–12 area (Galán and Borrego 2006 [Memnonia 17]: 205).

• Three from the 'Areal E' in Dra Abul Naga (Kruck 2012: 102).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 146.

• 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.
