Findspots:
One from Medinet Habu (Teeter et al. 2003: 181).
Remarks:
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 447, # 494, # 514, and # 556.
The five cones can be grouped in two by design: # 446 - # 447 and # 494, - # 514, - # 556. It is likely that the ancient Egyptians did not have as many as five cones. It is possible that Senemiah had the two groups at different times. However, it is unclear which group he had first and which group second. The titles of the two groups are almost identical, suggesting that the reason for abandoning one group is not simply a matter of promotion. It is possible that Senemiah constructed his second tomb for unknown reasons, necessitating the use of a different set of cones. However, there is no clear distinction between the locations where the cones were discovered, making this hypothesis merely speculative.
Macadam translated gs-pr as 'administrative office' (04-033 in Macadam's Green file and 06-091 in his DALEX file 2).
