either names uncertain, or infer ted, I know not which ; it

Palladio on uncertain slones) where the slones are laid with
their natural dimensions, and their figure and size of course
uncertain. This is explained by Scheme the first, A A.
Perault properly terms that kind of wall infer ted, where the
slones are of a determinate size, and placed in a regular or-
der ; for inslance, in brick work. In this kind of work,
the * rows of Jiones joined together should be alternate, that
the middle slones may be rendered firm and close by those
above them. This rule should take place in the middle of the
wall, if possible, if not, at both the Tides.
The Greeks made their walls in the manner of brick ones,
with a hard slone or ssint of a square form, i. e. of equal
depth and breadth. A wall thus construdted, they called
IcroSo^oc, such is B B. When the slones were irregular
in size, they termed the strudlure ip£v£i<roJ'o[Aog. The third
