Remarks: Mastaba is in field west of G 2135, off southwest corner of G 2135, east of Shepsi and northwest of G 4760. S 65 is intrusive in chapel. Mastaba is drawn but not labeled on plan EG002029. At northern end of mastaba is a small mastaba-like structure (Junker's "eingemauerte Mastaba") with decorated walls and false door which may have acted as a serdab and contained statues of the tomb owner.
