Commentary

The so-called 'Tomb Farag', although made of two different tombs, was probably devoted to one and the same family. The name on the stele echoes both one from the Southern tomb (IGCyr077900² and one in the Northern tomb (IGCyr078200²). The stele, seen re-used by Chamoux in the forecourt of the Northern tomb, might pertain to either of them.
