On the top of the mastaba, small mastaba, lined with stones, south of G 2429, north of G 2376 and west of the mastaba wall of G 2378, limestone debris, dubsh, black debris and broken mud brick. Exposed shaft A. North of this mastaba, between the mastaba lining and the mastaba wall of G 2378 appears a limestone building same as a room or a serdab, running from north to south, with a limestone floor and not roofed.

(4) G 7130
G 7130 B: In shaft. It is the south shaft in the mastaba. Lined above with stones and rock below, down 15.0 meters, and excavated before 14.0 meters, limestone debris and dubsh. Chamber on south, big chamber cut in rock and on northwest a small shaft inside the chamber. Around this chamber on east, west and south many Ptolemaic chambers. South of this mastaba in the Isis Temple we found a Ptolemaic shaft with many chambers, and in one of the chambers, there is a passage running to north to the chamber of G 7130 B, which is the big chamber numbered I. In the beginning of the big Ptolemaic shaft, a big stone covered the shaft, underneath that stone the shaft is cleaned and no debris. Because of danger we stopped the work in the Ptolemaic chambers, and we are going to start clearing the big chamber of shaft B and the shaft which is inside the chamber. After Mohammed measured the big chamber of B and the shaft which is inside the chamber, we are going to start clearing the Ptolemaic chambers and the Ptolemaic shaft south of the mastaba, and put the debris in the big chamber of B. North of shaft G 7130 B and in front the chamber there is a big cut. Found in the debris of the Ptolemaic chambers: fragments of granite sarcophagus (not inscribed). Not reached the rock in shaft and not started in chamber.
