- Remarks
- Mastaba is first of nine major tombs (as well as two "potential" ones) built in line along south side of Khufu Pyramid, just off southwest corner of Khufu Pyramid and west of Itjef. Temporarily labeled Mastaba 1 instead of Mastaba I. Junker assigned numbers I to XI for this row of mastabas. Mastaba II was not assigned as the space where II would have been was filled with collection of smaller mastabas. Reisner assigned numbers I to X sequentially to the nine major mastabas that were actually built (and Lepsius 52 = Junker's Mastaba V = Reisner's G IV S).
