The first group of Mariette’s tombs to be listed is that which lies behind FS 3071+3072. There is no evidence
remaining on the site for any of these tombs. Some mounds of debris in the wady may indicate the positions of Nos. 7,
8, and 9. The orientation diverges very markedly from the Archaic Cemetery, but agrees with that of FS 3050, and
from the evidence of Mariette’s map there is no choice but to place this group on the edge of the wady behind FS 3071 +
3072. The obvious errors in the placement of the numbers 16 and 17, however, strengthen a suspicion that the position
of the other tombs in this group on Mariette’s map is none too certain.
No. 6: C 15: Hemra: modified cruciform chapel; tomb usurped from a man named Thiy. False-door with part of
flanking palace-facade panelling from west wall, the jambs of the entrance and the fapade panels are all in the
Cairo Museum (No. 1360). A statue which probably belonged to this tomb is also in Cairo, No. 95: seated pair
statue of man named Thiy with similar titles and his wife Semert-min.
No. 7: C 13: Ity: only drum of doorway remained; seated statue in Cairo of man who bore similar titles; No. 26.
No. 8: C 2: Hetep: unfinished stone mastaba with three niches.
No. 9:64: Ipy: modified cruciform chapel.
No. 10: C 14: Ankhy: stone mastaba; modified cruciform chapel; built west of an older mastaba; titles, rh nswt imy r;
qsty, tablet from false-door in Cairo, No. 1729.
No. 11: B 13: Beb-ib or Senezem-ib: yellow c.b. mastaba with modified cruciform chapel; title, rh nswt; tablet of false-
door in Cairo, No. 1667; north side wall of niche in Cairo N 1628. A smr Beb-ib is found among the attendants
in the reliefs of the Neuserra temple.
No. 12: B 12: Nefer-hetep: yellow c.b. mastaba; panel with standing figure facing right in Cairo Museum, No. 1528;
with him is shown his son Nefer-her-n-ptah. A man with this name is the owner of No. 61 = D 21. Also in
Cairo there is a standing pair statue, No. 89, with wife Thentety.
No. 13: D 44: Sokar-nefer: two-niched short corridor chapel. The wife named Hathor-shepses is a rht nswt. Statue
in Cairo Museum, No. 123, with wife standing beside seated husband.
No. 14: D 43: Itwesh called Ptah-semenekhuw: multiple-roomed chapel with vaulting of yellow c.b.; inner offering-
chamber lined with stone; reliefs in New York Historical Society; web priest of the pyramid of Isesy.
No. 15: B 16: Ankh-ir-s: apparently a true cruciform chapel: great one of the Southern Ten.
No. 16: E 4: Hapuw: Mariette has a note that this tomb is wrongly placed on the map and that it is to be found north-
west of the tomb of Sabuw (C 16 ?). Small black brick mastaba with one niche; no trace on site.
No. 17: either an unassigned number or that of lyzefa (C 11) in the group east of the Step Pyramid, placed wrongly on
the map like that of Hapuw. C 11 is given the old number 17 in the text; see below under Lepsius 22.
No. 18: A 1: FS 3076 (?): Akhet-hetep: yellow c.b. mastaba with cruciform chapel lined with stone and decorated with
reliefs. FS 3076 is south-east of the position marked by Mariette on the map, but there is no evidence for a
large mastaba at that spot, and a small trial dig there and at another point in a yellow c.b. mastaba which seemed
to correspond better to the relations between the numbers 36, 35, 34, &c., and No. 18 failed to reveal any trace
of a stone-lined chapel. Further excavation may prove the identification with 3076 to be incorrect, but this seems
at present to be probable. 3076 is a large yellow c.b. mastaba with a chapel corresponding in size to that of
Akhet-htep. No reliefs are preserved as only the lower part of the stone lining remains. Akhet-hetep had the
titles s;b rd mr wr md smr, &c.
To the south of FS 3076 are the remains of several unexcavated stone mastabas which I have indicated on the map
with some hesitation as it is hard to be certain of the outlines in their present state. South of these is the large mastaba
