Fig. 1. Dedicatory Inscription from the Baths
On Page 75, Fig 2, in the existing elevation of the Bazaar,
will be seen holes in the rear wall, appearing near the cross divi-
sion walls. Mr. Koldewey has shown a scheme for distribut-
ing the water through the rooms (see Fig. 2) by plac-
ing corbels in these holes, with stone boxes partly resting on
the walls, and a pipe with cocks connecting the boxes, but it
must be confessed that this arrangement is not satisfactory. As
it was devised to account for the rooms being used as baths,
it might now be suggested that the water was carried directly
to the cisterns below, where, between the large piers in the
basement story at the east, the worn edges of the cistern indi-
cated that here had been the public fountain from which the
water had been drawn up in a primitive fashion by lowering
vessels with ropes. Many fragments of roof-tiles were found,
and several of the antefixes for both eaves and ridge. (Page
99, Figs. 1, 2.)
Fig. 2. Section through Bazaar
Showing Scheme for Distribution of Water
The dedicatory inscription1 which was formerly supposed to
belong to The Bazaar, Fig. 1, was found in fragments, partly
in the street below and partly in the Roman Baths. It prob-
ably belonged to these baths, which were situated directly
adjoining at the south. This inscription, 1.20 m. by 0.48 m.,
.08 m. thick, had evidently been set in a wall and had traces
of red color in many of the letters. It reads as follows : —

“ Lollia Antiochis, wife of Quintus Lollius Philetairos, first of
women, who was queen in accordance with ancestral customs, dedicated
this Bath and its belongings to Julia Aphrodite and the people.”2
In the Roman Bath below were found the pieces of small
inscribed epistyle shown in Fig. 3, which is restored after the
inscription above.
