- Remarks
- Renamed. Originally G 2341 A and B became G 5540 Y and Z. G 2358 A, C, D became G 5540 A, X , B. It appears that shaft shown in SE corner of G 5540 on map 498 is mislabeled as X and should read Z. Reisner also referenced G 5540 Y as G 5543 in unpublished manuscript noted in bibliography p. 56-w, and mistakenly confused G 5540 with Lepsius 30 (pp. 56-j2 and 56-s).
