Remarks: 

• A stele from the reign of Amunhotep III, stored at the British Museum (BM 826), appears to have belonged to Hori. The name of Suty, from cone # 408, also appears in the same stele (Varille 1942 [BIFAO 41]). 

• Based on the similarity of the writings, the cone manufacturer who made this cone and the one marked as # 408 might be identical. Hori and Suty could have been siblings (Heyler 1959 [Kêmi 15]: 87 n. 1).

• See also 01-245 in Davies's notebook, 05-110 in Macadam's DALEX file 1, and 06-088 & 099 in his DALEX file 2.
