Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 193 and # 232 because the design of the inscription is similar to both, the name and the title of the owner are the same. However, Vivó thinks that the owner of # 361 is different from those of the other cones since it was never found in the area of the tomb -286- and the king's name is not Thutmose II but Thutmose I (personal communication between Kento Zenihiro and him. 10 Nov. 2012).
# 361 makes reference to Thutmose I, while # 193 and # 232 mention Thutmose II, indicating that # 361 was created first. The other two cones have different handwriting, indicating that they were created by different individuals, and therefore were not created simultaneously. However, it is not clear which is the second and which is the third.
The fact that another cone of Nedjem (# 35) has been found near -286- suggests a problem to be investigated in the future.
Another cone belonging to Nedjem (# 35) has been found in TT 274, near -286-. However, it differs from the other three cones of Nedjem with regard to its design and title of ownership. As a result, it would be best not to assign this cone to -286- for now (cf. # 35).
