Remarks:

TT 201 has been regarded as the tomb of Ra, but his name does not appear on the walls or other parts of the tomb.
Petrie museum has a brick (Stewart 1986: 68. Inv. no. LDUCE-UC37839).
A model sarcophagus housed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (CG 48483) belonged to Ra. The inscriptions on the object reveal that the owner's name was Re and he held various titles, including jrj-pat HAtj-a, sS-nswt, jmj-rA kAt (nw) Smaw mHw, jmj-rA prwj-nbw, jmj-rA prwj-HD, wHmw-nswt tpj, and TAy-xw Hr wnmj n nswt (Newberry 1930: 369-373; Newberry 1957: Pl. XXIX-XXX). Besides, Re left inscriptions at various locations, including Konosso Island, where his name appears alongside those of Thutmose IV and TT 64 Heqaerneheh (Lepsius 1849-1859 [LD text IV]: 127). An inscription on Sahel island states 'sA-nswt wHmw-nswt tpj ra mAa-xrw' with Thutmose IV's name mentioned (Mariette 1872: Pl. 70, # 16). It is possible that the small circular stela ÄS 476, kept in the Staatliche Sammlung Ägyptischer Kunst, München, belonged to Ra. The stela shows the names of wHmw-nswt Ra and his brother pA-rn-nfr (Dyroff and Pörtner 1904: 28, Taf. XIII).
