Tomb 22.

Regarding the structure of the tomb see the diary of 27/10. It has five chambers from east - south - west - north α, β, γ, δ and ε. The main chamber, β, is plundered and the greater part of the dromos is probably disturbed. An inscription on the dromos-edge reveals the date of the plundering: A.A. Whether it says 1913, the year when 1918 Myres dug in the vicinity (tomb 21) and there found gold fragments, or 1918 cannot be "epigraphically" established, but it is most likely of course that it is the former year.

8/11Chamber δ is opened and the clearing is begun; it has two doors, a smaller one and a larger one, and appears undisturbed. The chamber is medium-sized and has a niche in the northern corner and one in the southern. Once the clearing has progressed, the following vessels can be taken out:

1. Ring vase undamaged
2. Marble idol
