[G 5110 (continued)]
unfinished. The niches are not inscribed.

G 5220
The mastaba G 5220 is also unfinished. It is later than G 5110, and the construction plane is still in place on south side. Between G 5210 and G 5220 is an older mastaba denuded to foundations and extending under G 5211. This older mastaba was, I believe, cleared away to make an approach to G 5110. G 5210 is older than the construction plane of G 5220, but late than G 5110.
