(1) G 2367
G 2467 B: In shaft. Lined above with rubble and rock cut below. It is north of A, south of C and west of D, down 2.1 meters, drift sand. Not reached the rock in shaft and not reached the chamber.

G 2467 C: In shaft. Lined with rubble. It is north of B and west of E, down 70 cm, sand, and limestone debris. Not reached the rock in shaft and not reached the chamber.

G 2467 D: In shaft. Lined with rubble. It is south of E and east of B, down 1.0 meter, red debris, limestone debris and rubble. Not reached the rock in shaft and not reached the chamber.

G 2467 E: In shaft. Lined with rubble. It is north of D and east of C, down 1.6 meters, sand and limestone debris. Not reached the rock in shaft and not reached the chamber.

(2) North of G 2474
North of this mastaba, and west of G 2440. In exposing the remains of the linings of the mastabas discovered before: sand, limestone debris, rubble and red debris. We exposed that the lining was of two mastabas and we numbered them, G 2477 and G 2478.

(3) G 2477
A stone mastaba, partly destroyed on east. It is east of C. Also lining destroyed on west. It is north of G 2474, west of G 2440 and east of G 2478, and between them only a street and in that street shaft G 2478 X. Contains eight shafts, A-H, not started with them. North of that mastaba appeared a new lining of a stones mastaba running to the north. We stop work in the new discovered mastaba because it goes below M. Boraize's [Baraize] house.
Drawing of the mastaba will be with the drawing of G 2478 on page 948.

(4) G 2478
A stone mastaba. North of G 2474, west of G 2477 and east of G 2475. Contains six shafts, A-E, X, not yet started with them. Also in the street between it and G 2477 on south is a building the same as a chapel, but not yet exactly exposed, because in the street is shaft X. North of the chamber of X is a roof not exactly exposed. We will clear that street when the mastaba and the shafts will be drawn in the map.
