These two stones [25-2-508, 25-2-509] were lying so close together that it seems certain their original home, the tomb of [TRANSLITERATION] [Maakheru] cannot be far from this spot. The pits worked on to late in this street are grouped as in this plan:

The new room III, of the exterior chapel [of G 7510] plans as here shown:

The westernmost column base had rough inscription [GLYPHS].

The hole wherein the columns had stood are surrounded with cement wherewith they had been made firm.
