(2) G 5223
It was a crude brick mastaba, because we found the remains of the lining. It is south of G 5222, east of G 5224 and north of G 5220. With one shaft, lettered A. The drawing of the mastaba will be with G 5222.

G 5223 A: Lined above with crude brick and cut in bad rock below. It is in the middle of the mastaba and it was excavated before. We stopped work in the shaft because it is in bad rock and a big stone fell from G 5220. We cannot excavate it, we are afraid about the men. Also Mr. Floroff agreed with that.

(3) G 5224
A stone mastaba. Lining partly preserved on east and north. It is west of G 5222 - G 5223, east of G 5225 and north of G 5220 with two shafts: A and B. Sketch of mastaba.
