(1) G 5210
Under the outer room of G 5210 is the beginning of a sloping shaft. It is very difficult to get at, but I think the shaft was never used or finished.

In the space west of the rubble wall (inclined construction plane) in hard debris, many fragments of alabaster statues (none of importance).
