Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 41.
According to Davies, the cone's owner was likely the individual depicted on the wall in TT55 (Davies 1941: 17 n. 3, Pl. VIII). Auenmüller appears to support this theory, dating the cone to the reign of Amunhotep III (Auenmüller 2013: 940). Similarly, Aling agrees with this interpretation and suggests that Miy, who appears in the statue of Kamose in the British Museum (EA 1210), also refers to the same person (Aling 1977: 155-160). However, a stronger evidence base is required to confirm their idea.
CG 982 at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo could have belonged to Miy as the sandstone stelophorous statue represents a person named Miy who held the position of jmj-rA AHt n jmn (Borchardt 1934: 14).
Macadam writes that the title jmj-rA abw 'may reflect the qualities of a veterinary surgeon, since every animal is put under the holder’s care, even birds and fishes, and the most valuable, horses and cattle' (06-038 in his DALEX file 2).
