Remarks: 

• The identity of the owner of A. 19 is unknown, but he held titles of jrj-pat HAtj-a n Tnj jmj-rA Hmw-nTr n jnHrt mH-jb mnx n nb tAwj, suggesting that he may have owned this cone (cf. Manniche 1988a: 52). According to Van Siclen, the figure portrayed (but now defaced) on the wall of TT 94 Kenamun may have been our Amunhotep (Davies 1930: 39, Pl. XXXVIII). Van Siclen also posited that the identical official was in possession of the statue 37.29E, conserved at the Brooklyn Museum, as well as the block statue D.59 exhibited at the Leiden Museum (Leemans 1840: 55), and the shabti CG 46537 located at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (Newberry 1930: 5-6). He also proposed that the stela EA 902 at the British Museum, which exhibits the cartouche of Thutmose IV (Edwards 1939 [BMHT 8]: 8-9 , Pl. IX), could have been his property (Van Siclen 1979).

• The likelihood that this cone was created for the tomb A. 19 is high. However, it would be preferable to await additional evidence, such as the data regarding the cone's discovery location.

• See also 01-221 in Davies's notebook, 05-021 in Macadam's DALEX file 1, and 06-063, 065, 068, 070, & 100 in his DALEX file 2.
