  • Notes
    Two connecting blocks originally registered as EMC_TR_14.6.24.2 and EMC_TR_5.7.24.18. EMC_TR_5.7.24.18 listed in Temporary Register and Special Register as from Saqqara; but see Zivie, BIFAO 75, p. 287. EMC_TR_14.6.24.3 and EMC_TR_14.6.24.4 are listed in the TR as being from the same tomb as EMC_TR_14.6.24.2; however, they are probably from the tomb of Hormin at Saqqara (see EMC_JE_8380 and EMC_JE_8375 and Zivie, BIFAO 75, p. 287). Tomb of Ptahmay destroyed by inhabitants of Kafr el-Batran, 1883.
