IN the second edition of volume 1 of Porter and Moss's Topographical Bibliography there is listed Theban Tomb 293, attributed to Ramessesnakhte, First Prophet of Amun, and dated to the time of Ramesses IV. A description and plan are supplied, and the location of the tomb within the Theban necropolis is shown on map 1 at the end of the book.' The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that some of the information given in PM concerning this tomb probably pertains to another, previously unnoted tomb in the necropolis, and in any case does not relate to Theban Tomb (hereafter referred to as TT) 293. Early in 1972, we searched for TT 293 in the area of Drac Ab i el-Nagac indicated by the map of the Theban necropolis2 but without immediate success. Some days later, Dr. Labib Habachi, assisted by the retired Sheikh el-Ghufard of Gurna, found a tomb bearing the painted number 293, in exactly the position shown by the map, which we had overlooked when we first visited the spot. Upon our return to the site, it became clear why we had failed to recognize the tomb. Neither the plan nor the decoration as described in PM corresponded with those features in the tomb bearing the number 293. TT 293 (fig. 1)3 is situated in a rectangular cutting in the slope, facing southeast. The original outline of this cutting is somewhat obscured by erosion of the rock and by the rather thick deposit of sand and debris which now covers most of it. At about the center of the cutting some brickwork, apparently still bonded together, can be detected, but until the area is cleared, the nature of these remains cannot be determined.4 At the present time, the foremost element of the hypogeum is a short longitudinal passage which leads into the vertical rock-face which forms the northern margin of the cutting to reach a large pillared hall. It is possible that this passage was originally preceded by a transverse hall which contained the actual entrance to the tomb (cf. TT 106 of Vizier Paser), but if so, it has collapsed totally, and no trace of such a feature remains visible today. The side-walls of the present entrance passage are broken by a natural fissure. Beyond this passage lies a large, roughly rectangular hall oriented transversely to the long axis
