Diary Transcription:

Saturday and Sunday, April 20 and April 21, 1912 (continued)

mass of drift sand about G 4241 is so great that it cannot be effectively handled by a small gage.

Sunday, April 21, 1912

The chapel G 4241 is clear. There is only one offering niche rudely carved with the name and title of an official named Ra-hotep [Rahetep]. The chapel had been entered anciently by thieves who tore a stone out of the north wall and another out of the west wall beside the niche. There is no evidence of a serdab.

The chapel of G 4341 is uninscribed and shows only one incomplete or rudimentary niche. In the south wall a hole like a serdab hole leads into a large square pit filled with sand.

There is not trace of a serdab.

Monday, April 22, 1912

In view of the near departure for Girga, I kept the work going today. I want definite knowledge of the group G 4000 before leaving.

The sand is off the top of G 4241 and two pits are visible.
