Translation: Fourth prophet of Amun Neferhotep justified, his wife, mistress of the house Amunhotep.
Date: T. I - Hat (Neferhotep is seen in a wall of TT 345 as an elder brother of the owner of the tomb, which is dated T. I - Hat. (Lepsius 1849 – 1859 [LD Taf. III]: 9; Sethe 1906 [Urk IV: II]: 106). Auenmüller dates, however, to the reign of T. III for unknown reason (Auenmüller 2013: 941).

Remarks:
I propose that Neferhotep had # 301 initially, followed by # 359, and ultimately # 302. My reasoning is that # 301 solely references Neferhotep, while in # 359, his wife's name is added to the margins (likely due to marriage). Furthermore, in # 302, the cones were remade with a tidy and neatly organised inscription.
