Note 263 — Chapter III · (continued 3)

Passalacqua describes a tomb of this kind in detail in his Catalogue raisonné et historique des Antiquités découvertes en Égypte (8vo., 1826). This tomb had been visited and pillaged at some unknown epoch. One of the two chambers had been opened and stripped, but the second, which opened lower down the well, and on the other side, escaped the notice of the violators (pp. 118-120). In the tomb opened by Rhind (Thebes, its Tombs, etc. pl. 5, v.), the well gave access to four chambers of different sizes arranged round it like the arms of a cross.
