Findspots:
40 from the TT 276 area (Gauthier 1919 [BIFAO 16]: 176–183).
One from the court of TT 276 (Fakhry 1937 [ASAE 37]: 35).
16 from the tomb Z1 at Dra Abul Naga (Aglan 2020: 203, 206, 273, and 353).
Remarks:
EA 9728 in the British Museum gives a better text for this cone (James 1959 [JEA 45]: 116).
The ascribed owner is identical to that of # 186.
Curiously, 16 examples of this cone were found at Dra Abul Naga, but no examples of # 186, which was in the possession of the same official, were found there. This means that someone # 60 deliberately chose to transport from TT 276 at Qurnet Murai to Dra Abul Naga for unknown reasons.
Our cone is different with # 186 in the design. It also has only jmj-rA aXnwtj, but # 60 has Xrd n kAp as well as jmj-rA aXnwtj. This means that the makers of the two cones were most likely different. According to Saad, TT 276 did not yield any Xrd n kAp titles (Saad 2022: 18 and 21). Therefore, Amunemopet did not have Xrd n kAp at first and after he had made # 186, cut his tombs, and painted the wall decoration, he received the title and then made the second cone, # 60.
