(translation from Dutch to English by Babelfish) "The clay toes walls of the superstructure stand meters still two intact. A part of the lining with limestones relief panels has been kept. On this its images Ptahemwia, its woman Maia, priests, civil servants, dienaren and muzikanten and scenes from daily living to see of the sepulchre owner. Such living shows are characterising for the art from the time of king Achnaton. Also becomes clear from the inscripties in the sepulchre which Ptahemwia the high court function fulfilled of ‘donor of the king, clean of hands’. In that quality he must responsible have been for the care of the pharaoh with food and spirits... If Ptahemwia died prematurely or from the gratie touched, is so far unknown. To be name means ‘the god Ptah sits in its barque’. Possibly this its impact has had on its career. Ptah were the town god of the egyptische capital Memphis, and just like the other gods Achnaton were banished."
