On the door frame from the entry there is an offering which the king gives to Horakhti-Atum for the servant in the place of Truth Wennufer, who is related to Amennakht. Another offering from the king is given to Ptah-Sokar for the servant in the Place of Truth Khaemwaset and his wife Taweret-herti. A third person was mentioned in the text, but their name was not preserved. A text over the stairs mentions Penamun.^[2]
