    • Remarks Fragment of limestone stela (25-12-663) inscribed for Washptah, identified as [Hm-nTr skr jmAx xr nTr-aA rx nswt] priest of Sokar, revered before the Great God, royal acquaintance; found displaced in upper debris of Street G 7000. Possibly same individual as Washptah (owner of G 8976) who holds identical titles; however, it is unclear how relief from Central Field would have ended up in debris of Street G 7000 in Eastern Cemetery.
