The second sealed doorway, at the end of the descending passage,
leading directly into the Antechamber, was almost an exact replica
of the first doorway, save<,> perhaps<,> the seal impressions were less
distinct – stone and rubble having been piled against them before
they were dry and hard. Corresponding in position to the breaches
in the first doorway, were similar traces of successive openings
and re-closings/clearly marked/<discernible> upon the plaster, but the breaches
in this case had evidently not been quite so large <as those on the first doorway>.
Here, I must plead heat of excitement at the moment of the dis-
covery, for I find my notes are not sufficiently complete to give
a detailed enumeration of the seals employed; however, the result
of my <notes after examining> examinationat the time of both the original and subsequent closings <made at the time of the discovery,> records: 'No appreciable difference from the several
sealings on the first doorway.' Since, from <the> fragments preserved,
I find no reason for changing this conclusion.
