A cut passage, or dromos, slopes down between soil walls toward Tomb 69 at Marion, with a flight of steps in the foreground. Inside the tomb opening at the far end, a large round-bodied jar and several other vessels are partly visible in the shadow. Loose stones and a coil of rope lie on the spoil heap at the upper right.

Description, scan 2: A narrow passage cut into the ground, the dromos, runs toward the tomb opening, with a flight of steps across its floor in the foreground. Pale earth walls flank the passage, and loose stones and rubble lie on the right bank. Inside the dark entrance, a large round-bodied jar and several smaller vessels stand on the floor where they were found.
