Front of Lepsius 40 W (G 5230 W) between north and south nearly clear. This space was once heavily paved with blocks of gray nummulitic limestone in two layers (or courses), but most of it has been torn up by treasure hunters. The north serdab was dressed over all, but the south serdab was left rough. In front are smaller mastabas, but the relative date is not clear.
