25-2-119, 25-2-178, 25-2-229 incorrectly referenced in this concordance of ushabtis; 25-2-197 through 25-2-228 (not including 25-2-212, which was omitted from register) are all fragments of ushabtis from G 7631 B (provenance according to concordance), some of those from this group of fragments that are not specifically listed among the concordance may be the three incorrectly identified fragments.
