Findspots:

• Five from Abydos, around the Portal temple of Ramesses II (Simpson 1995: 79).

Remarks: 

• The text content of # 635/B.08, # 661/B.34, and # 663/B.36 is almost the same, yet the order of production among these three bricks is unclear.  Furthermore, the rationale behind the necessity for them, despite the similarities in their contents, remains unclear and requires further investigation.

• This seal impression may have been stamped solely on the bricks, rather than the cones. Further information on this particular type can be found here.

• For more on this Paser, see Donohue 1988 [JEA 74] and Auenmüller 2013: 837-842.
