According to Crum EA 10376, 10122, 10414, 10434, 10391 were written by the same hand and were probably acquired by Hay at Thebes (1934, p. 51 and 195). See now O'Connell ed. 2022
Two disassociated fragments previously mounted with EA 10414 have been added to EA 10376 as, following MSI, it is clear that at least one belongs to EA 10414. The physical characterisitics of the leather of the second dissassociated fragment suggest that it too belongs to EA10434. The former will be placed and both mounted with EA 10434 in 2017.
