Commentary

This mention is only known from a diplomatic copy in Cassels' archive, published by the Thorns with a commentary by J.M. Reynolds, who suggested a date for the lettering.

In Cassels' words, its place is 'on the left' of tomb W98, which seems to be another, undescribed, tomb. That it is also tomb W98bis mentioned once (and neither described) by E. Fabbricotti (see Fabbricotti 2006, p. 125) can only be a guess.
