"The Left-hand Treasury," (3) ["The Right-hand Treasury"] 

missing owing to the loss of that portion of the papyrus, 

and (4) [ 𓂀 ] "The Treasury of the Inner-

most," also called [ 𓂀 ]

"The Second Corridor which is at the back of the House 

of Gold."

          As/<Since> the arrangement of these subsidiary rooms leading 

from the sarcophagus chamber is quite different to the 

corresponding treasuries in the Eighteenth Dynasty tombs, 

this tomb-plan being of a later and decadent period, 

and as some of the terms used by the architect are <perhaps> am-

biguous, an explanation is called for here.

 

          The term "Resting-place of the Gods" refers to re-

cesses <forming a sort of shelves> cut in the north and south sides of the corridor 

called "the Shabti-place," – a short passage leading 

to "the Right and Left-hand Treasuries" and "The Trea-

sury of the Innermost." The right and left-hand trea-

suries have Shabti-figures painted upon their walls, 

and were evidently intended for the purpose of housing 

those funerary statuettes. Upon the walls of the <'Treasury of the> inner-

most' treasury are painted Canopic jars, kiosks and var-

ious pieces of furniture, which suggests that the 

Canopic jars were stored there, much as Tutankhamen's 

Canopic equipment was housed in the treasury leading 

from his sarcophagus chamber. In the <shelf-like> recesses called 

"The Resting-place of the Gods" are pau/<i>nted twenty 

gods and goddesses in kiosks, and above each of them 

offerings such as loaves and vessels upon a mat. 

These gods, although represented in kiosks, should not, 

I think, be confused with the statuettes of divinities
