Translation: Revered one before Osiris, the great god, king's herald, Intef justified.
Date: Hat - T. III (Papyrus preserved in the Louvre (E. 3226) states that Seshi or Neshi, who had # 138 that presumably was made by the same person, was in his office in the year 30 of Thutmose III (Megally 1977: 271-273). Auenmüller also dates this cone to the same period (Auenmüller 2013: 895). Polz, however, dates it to Hat. Polz 2007: 291).
Length: --
Colours: --
Findspots:
12 examples, together with # 139 of the same owner, were from tomb A. 2 (Gauthier 1908 [BIFAO 6]: 127–128).
A total of 50 examples of this cone and # 139 from the north of TT 155 (01-133 in Davies's notebook and 04-003 in Macadam's Green file).
One (MMA: 14.1.429) from Dra Abul Naga.
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 139.
The handwriting on both cones, # 139 and # 182, is identical, as are their dimensions, design, and contents. It can be inferred that the maker of the two cones is the same, and that they were created at the same time. Intef wished to mention both Osiris and Anubis, so he made two cones. One of the two cones may have been positioned at the right half of the façade, while the other cone, bearing a different type, was set at the left half.
