(2) Street G 7300
Street G 7300: east of G 7310.
Today the north end is now almost clear. At about 4 meters south of the north end of G 7410 there is an intrusive crude brick mastaba whose pit was only commenced by the builders. The outline of this mastaba are not clear yet. See tomorrow's sketch of this (G 7310 X). The pit is nearly opposite the niche of G 7310.
(3) Street G 7400
Street G 7400: east of G 7420.
The men were working in and east of the interior chapel of G 7420 to as far as the south corner of this mastaba. North of this chapel on the west side of street were a red ware bowl and a number of pots in Ptolemaic debris.
G 7432: A small brick wall runs northward from the northeast outer angle of the large stone enclosing wall of G 7430. This is 170 cm long and 40 cm wide and is parallel to the eastern wall of the stela room of G 7432. See sketch:

(4) Street G 7800
This street is about 62 meters east of north end of mastaba G 7510. Work began today here and a number of pits were found, lined with crude brick; these will be numbered when their plan is clearer. They are filled with robbers' debris and contained so far only a few late beads and amulets. Slightly to the southward was found the stone wall of a small mastaba.
The intention was to clear this area as a dump for the debris from the east face of G 7510, but it now appears that it will be unsuitable for this purpose owing to the great height of railway entailed.
