work on

In the room. In removing the lining of shaft X [Margin note: T(?)] and V [Margin note: W(?)] of G 2400 which are inside that room in order to clean the room and to show the inscriptions on the walls. Stones and rubble from the shafts and underneath that is limestone debris and rubble. Room cleared. We will describe it afterwards because there remains some debris above the inscriptions and the decorations. So we left the room to dry and after that we will clean it again.
Found in debris: inscribed limestone fragment (showing man and wife seated on a chair, the basis partly gone also part of the face and the head of the figure missing) [40-4-50].
two inscribed fragments in sunk relief. Room cleared on a limestone floor.
