- Notes
- The name in the original entry, "Mu-hapy", is almost certainly a partially preserved attestation of "Tadiuserpahap."
- Remarks
- Original entry on page 12 assigns this item to "Osiris Mu-hapy"; concordance of ushabtis on page 567 assigns this item to "Ankh-hor"; possibly part of group of 15+ ushabtis including 25-1-993, 25-1-994, 25-1-1081, and 25-1-808.
