Remarks: 

• PM attributes name and title to the owner of tomb TT 401 based on this cone, although it is unclear whether the cone was actually found in that area. Despite TT 401 being previously investigated when undamaged (Fakhry 1947 [ASAE 46]: 34), no inscriptions from it have been reported to date. For this reason, we cannot propose TT 401 as the initial dwelling of this pyramid as opposed to former scholars (PM: 444; Manniche 1988a: 11; Kondo 1992: 121; Kampp 1996: 609; Kondo 1998: 40; Vivó 2002: 26). Macadam attributed this cone to tomb C.11 but this idea also is not confirmed for the same reason (06-106 in his DALEX file 2).

• See also 01-173 in Davies's notebook, 05-083, 084, & 085 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-060 and 094 in his DALEX file 2.
