Remarks
Although Object Register has provenance deleted (originally identified as "from top of G 5236"), list of objects with inscriptions in MFA archives (handwritten presumably by Mahmoud Said Diraz) includes 38-2-3 under G 2110 (Nefer). This fragment may or may not be inscribed limestone fragment mentioned in diary for February 9, 1938 (see diary Vol.31.p.615) under entry for G 5236, and Arabic Diary Book 34, p. 2871. Present location uncertain (not MFA).
