This room is in the same size as the previous one: 7.45m north-south, 3.55m east-west and 3.6m high. Its significance as the sanctuary of the temple is no longer questionable following the work of Youri Volokhine.
The Djhwty-stm epithet
, found throughout, must be understood as "Thoth, the setem priest" and not "Thoth, the one who listens". There are two additional doorways in the room, both at the western (far) end, on the south and north walls. These were cut through after their decoration was complete, as will be seen from the evidence when these walls are examined below. The room was originally enclosed, with the exception of the entry from room 2. Oracular communications could not have been held here because it was not accessible to the public.
This room is distinctly better preserved than the previous one: reliefs and figures were, for the most part, finished. As always, the craftsmen and their privileged employers constructed and decorated this most sacred part of the temple first
