Remarks:

Many examples were discovered in the shaft of TT 346, leading researchers to believe that this may be the tomb of Paenre, although his name and titles have not been found within the tomb. It is unusual that the cones were found together in a single shaft, as funerary cones are typically scattered throughout the court. It is possible that someone intentionally placed the cones in the shaft after removing them from their original location, which may or may not have been TT 346.
If Paenre owned TT 346, he was not its first owner. The tomb was originally built for someone else before the construction of TT 55, as evidenced by the irregular plan of the court of TT 55.
'Kharu' is a term used to refer to the region of Syria-Palestine.
Two stelae and four statues are thought to be of this Paenre (Petrie 1896: Pl. 19; Daressy 1900a: 143; Daressy 1900b [ASAE 1]: 101; Borchardt 1934: 80-81; Nims 1956 [MDAIK 14]; Schulz 1990).
