Notes
The plan of the burial chamber may have been taken from drawing [5]. That drawing (made the day before) has the two steps between the two chambers erased; in this drawing they are restored. The three short walls appear again. Adams drew the section through the burial chamber twice the day before (see [7] and [8]). A small change has the arched gap above the twin sarcphagi removed.
