The statues contain over one hundred Roman-era inscriptions in Greek and Latin, some of which make reference to the Greek mythological king Memnon, hence the misnaming of the figure (actually depictions of Amenhotep III). Smaller figures carved into the front throne alongside his legs are his wife Tiye and mother Mutemwiya.
