'S.E. corner of E. pile, and part of surrounding enclosure.
Shewing the ground to be clear between them; hence the outer
slope was not part of a pyramid, but rather of a mastaba-like
court; from the Arab name there were probably statues on
the piles: this resembling the pyramids with statues on them of Hdtus II.149.'
