PLAN'S AND DRAWINGS OF ATHENIAN BUILDINGS.
D. Course of poros stone under the marble slabs and columns of the stoa.
E. Lower foundations of conglomerate stone.
F. Poros facing-blocks of the back wall of the stoa.
G. G., Massive back wall of conglomerate blocks.
XXXIII.—Plan of the Dipylon Gate (Pl. 24).
A. Marble altar to Zeus Herkeios, Hermes and Akamas.
B. Marble paving with traces of a marble anta and two columns.
C. Steps leading up on to the wall and to the tower at F.
D. Water-channel passing through the massive wall.
E. Wall of polygonal masonry.
F. Tower of which only the solid stone foundations exist.
G. Massive wall on the N.E. of the inner double gate, built of various kinds
of stone.
H. One of the inner gates.
J. The other gateway, of which only the foundations exist.
K. Tower corresponding to that at F.
L and M. Side walls of the enclosure between the inner and outer gates.
N. One of the outer gateways.
O. Pier between the two outer gates, partly built of marble stelae from tombs
of the fourth century B.C.
P. Large marble pedestal and seat built against the pier on the outside.
Q. Pier of neatly-worked blocks of poros stone.
R. Supposed site of a boundary stele (now lost) like that at V.
S. S. Inner and outer walls of Athena rebuilt in late times.
T. Foundations of a tower.
V, Marble stele inscribed OP OS KEPAMElKOY, set against the polygonal
wall of Themistocles.
W, W. Outer wall of late date, pierced with drains to carry off the rain-water
from the passage between the two walls.
X, Foundations of tower, set diagonally.
Y, Y. Very massive foundations of a stoa, possibly the Pompeion, set diagonally
to range with the line of the river in the channel b.
Z, Z. Front wall of the stoa with a row of massive buttresses.
a. Dado-slabs of Hymettian marble, which masked the row of buttresses.
b. Marble arch and stelae grooved for sluice-doors, to regulate the flow of
water in the Roman vaulted channel, through which the stream was
carried in late times ; see XXXIV.
F. At the other end are some remains of a
dado of Hymettian marble also.
XXXIII. There is no direct evidence as to
the source from which M. derived this plan. 11
would be unlike his methods to have made a
new survey when a good published plan existed ;
por js there any trace of such a survey among
his notes and papers, though there are plenty
of drawings and notes of detail concerning the
walls round the Dipylon. Presumably, there-
fore, the plan is derived from a published survey,
with additions and modifications. The modern
wall on the left, shown by a hatched line, was
probably built since M.’s visit,
