Remarks:
EA 35688, located in the British Museum, contains a more comprehensive text (James 1959 [JEA 45]: 116).
The inscriptions on # 358 and # 370 do not state the owner Useramun himself was 'jmj-rA njwt' and 'TAtj'. However, the inscription on # 355 does state that he was. Furthermore, the former two cones were made for TT 61, while # 355 was for TT 131, which had a pyramid. It is notable that having a tomb with a pyramid was quite rare for a private person at that time. These facts lend support to the hypothesis that User initially had # 358 and # 370, and subsequently, following his promotion, constructed a new tomb with a pyramid and a new cone that reflected his new office.
