Remarks:
According to page 102 of Gardiner's MSS 21.1 = "Theban Tombs. Copies of his (i. e. Gardiner's) notes used by Miss Porter when preparing volume I of the Topographical Bibliography", held at the Griffith Institute, TT 199 has an inscription which reads: ...n Asjr jmj-rA Snaw [...(n jmn?)] jrj-nfrw mAa-xrw.
According to the inscription on the sculpture of Irineferuef in the British Museum (Inv. No. 29. Budge 1909: 126 [444]; Edwards 1939: 34, Pl. XXIX) Akhetmut is a daughter of Irineferuef and his wife Ipu. On the other hand, our cone and the statue N 129 in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo describe Akhetmut as the wife of Irineferuef. Given this situation, Metawi suggested that Irineferuef first married Ipu, who bore him a daughter named Akhetmut, and after the death of Ipu he married his eldest daughter Akhetmut (Metawi 2013 [SAK 42]: 229).
As for the title, Davies and Macadam suggested reading Overseer of the Workshop/Magazine (jmj-rA Snaw. 01-029 in Davies's notebook, 05-011 in Macadam's DALEX file 1, and 06-085 in his DALEX file 2). Helck and Metawi, however, read his title as irj-a.t (n) 'Imn (Helck 1959: 370) and iry-at 'Imn (Metawi 2013 [SAK 42]: 229) respectively. Metawi suggests that the lower part of the second line consists of three signs: A58, O1 and D36 (ibid.). In any case, Irineferuef had both titles.
