Ground plan of a building complex (red chalk and ink)
A surveyed floor plan with rooms, a long colonnade and staircases; the sheet bears no writing
The sheet, catalogued as devoid of writing and invisible before restoration, in fact carries a faint architectural ground plan drawn in red chalk and ink. It shows a complex of rectangular rooms and courts, a long colonnade rendered as a row of small circles, and several staircases, with red-chalk sight- or construction-lines radiating across the sheet. No transcribed text accompanies the drawing; the plan itself is untranscribed and is described here from the image.

Faint ground plan of rooms, colonnade and stairs
A large rectangular enclosure at upper left opens onto a warren of smaller rooms and courts. A long colonnade is drawn as a row of circular column-marks, and short flights of steps are indicated at several junctions. The construction is laid out in a mix of red chalk and darker ink.
