Commentary

This base is known only from a transcription in Chamoux's unpublished notebook. The tomb has been carefully explored by S. Farag and J.M. Reynolds in 1970. As they do not mention this base, it had probably been moved or broken off between Chamoux's visit in 1947 and their own exploration in 1970.
