Findspots:

• Six from TT 349 (01-248 in Davies's notebook).

Remarks: 

• The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 431.

• The inscription style of his two cones (# 431 and # 432) indicates that they were most likely produced by the same person and (therefore) at almost the same time.

• As inscribed, the owner was functioning during the identical period as TT 93 Qenamun, who possessed # 187.

• Macadam interpreted Peru-nefer as a pleasure garden or hunting lodge and game reserve of Amunhotep II (04-053 in his Green file). However, current scholarship identifies Peru-nefer as a major Egyptian military and naval base of Thutmose III and Amunhotep II, with Bietak firmly locating it at Tell el-Dab'a (Bietak 2018).

• See also 05-026, 080, 119, & 120 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-049, 081, 084, 099, & 110 in his DALEX file 2.
