Context (Amendments / updates)
Dodson notes that 'Hensen's attire suggests a date near the close of the Eighteenth Dynasty, while the subject matter and text make it likely that the stela came from Ashmunein or its necropolis, Tuna el-Gebel' (p. 278). Thus 'Hermopolis', 'el-Ashmunein' and ''Tuna el-Gebel' have been added to the Place field and the Period has also been updated.
