Aha.



This tomb (see pi. xx.), consisting of a single
small chamber, 9 feet 4 inches deep by 6 feet
7 inches across, and about 5 feet high, has
recently been much mutilated, the inscriptions
covering the greater part of the left-hand aud
inner walls having been almost entirely de-
faced. We possess, however, a photograph of
the inscriptions on the inner wall, made by
Major Brown, RE., before its defacement, and
Prof. Sayce copied the same, with a few others,
in 1884.

The facade of the tomb is plain, but the
lintel and jambs of the entrance doorway are
inscribed with incised hieroglyphs. On the

lintel are two lines reading «—m.
