Notes

A comparison with drawing [7] shows tentative changes to the area flanking the single sarchophagus as well as a note to omit the added urns. Both drawings ([7] and [8]) were made on the same day and it is not clear which was made first. See also drawing [12] which is similar except for the omission of the arches above the sarcophagi.
