Findspots:
Together with # 10 and # 40, a total of over 200 examples from the tomb -396- (Reyad 2015: 150).
Remarks:
Bidoli reported that a local Qurnawi had informed him that Amunhotep's cones (exact type is not known. Either # 10, # 40, and # 65) had been found around -396- (Bidoli 1970 [MDAIK 26]: 12). However, he did not give detailed information about the types of cones, the number of cones found, and the exact location of the cones. Therefore, his words were somewhat unreliable until Reyad's publication mentioned above.
The ascribed owner is identical to those of # 10, # 40, and # 622/A.11.
It is relatively rare for one person to have four different types of cone. However, it is not clear why he has four different types of cones, or why he needs them. Moreover, each of the four types has only similar titles written on it, even though he had other high-ranking titles, and it is clear that the reason is not because "the area of the cone is small and I wanted to write down all the high-ranking titles that I have a lot of, which should appeal to others, but I couldn't, so I created four and wrote down different high-ranking titles for each of the four".
Hwt-Hrt-jb (modern Athribis) was the capital city of Km-wr, which is inscribed on # 40, the 10th nome in Lower Egypt.
