Findspots:

• One example of this or # 317 from TT 165 (01-167 in Davies's notebook).

• In total of six of this cone and/or # 317 from around TT 145 and Z5 (Aglan 2020: 204, 207, and 289-290).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 317.

• The inscription on both cones, # 317 and # 318, is identical, as is the design. It can be concluded that the maker of the two cones is the same, and that they were created at the same time. However, the reason for the need for two almost identical cones, although slightly different, is unclear. This is a matter for further investigation

• There is a brick of this or # 317 (01-167 in Davies's notebook).

• See also 05-078 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-074, 104, & 109 in his DALEX file 2.
