Notes
Two out of possibly six original architrave blocks survive, both from the northern side. On them, nine figures are preserved (in procession order, west to east): five of the triangle decans (see below), the three superior planets, and one ordinary decan (spdt).
Schematic
The ceiling itself has been lost.
Decan List
Neugebauer and Parker (EAT3 p.20) conjecture that the ceiling itself would have followed their "Seti I C" pattern (AR2). The architrave content supports that conjecture. The block which is missing from this northern set of architraves would possibly have contained a figure of Ramesses II at the head of this half of the procession, the two inferior planets, and the final triangle decan F nTr wAS, in an arrangement following the layout of the architraves in the Second Hypostyle Hall. The names of the planets are poorly rendered.
