EXPLANATION OF PLATES. 23
c. c. Dado-blocks and facing of poros stone, mostly re-built in late times.
d. Gutter for rain-water.
e. e. Passage between the inner and outer walls.
f. Foundation of a tower built of draughted blocks of poros and travertine.
g. g. Rude walls of conglomerate stone, added in later times' at the end of
the passage between the second and third lines of wall.
h. Large marble pedestal on the top of the late outer wall.
i. Postern door inserted in the polygonal Avail of Themistocles.
k. k. Inner Avail of polygonal masonry.
l. Inner face of the outer polygonal Avail, shown in XXXV.
m. Seven rock-cut steps in the passage between the tAVO polygonal Avails
leading up to the higher level of rock.
n. Tank of late Roman date.
o. o. Outer face of the outer wall of Themistocles, built of fine polygonal
blocks.
p. p. Wall partly built of polygonal masonry along the road leading to the
tombs.
q. Wall of one of the houses which faced on to the road. This and the
adjacent polygonal Avail are still partly covered with fine Greek stucco.
XXXIV. Roman water-channel and sluice-doors near the Dipylon (Pl. 25).
A, B and C. Marble tomb-stelae of the fourth century B.c., which have been
taken from the neighbouring cemetery, and used as uprights for the
sluices to slide in. For this purpose four upright grooves are cut
in the stelae.
D, D. Arch cut out of one great block of marble which measured about
13 feet by 7 feet.
E, E. Concrete filling-in over the brick vault.
F, F, F. Notches cut in the blocks of poros stone.
G, G, Rough blocks of poros, which support the brick vault.
H, H. Brick barrel vault over the channel, through which the stream was
carried in late Imperial times.
J. Bricks set cross-wise at the apex of the vault.
K. Bed of the stream.
The dotted lines under the marble arch show the positions of holes in
the marble to fix a metal grating in front of the sluice-doors.
To the N.W of this arch the Roman channel has been mostly destroyed.
Its position is shown at B in XXXIII. which gives the Plan of the
Dipylon and the adjacent structures.
k. ‘ Polygonal ’ is hardly a correct descrip-
tion. According to M.’s note this wall has
more small stones used, and often in the
vertical joints, while it is otherwise in even
courses,
XXXIV. This drawing is derived from M.’s
note-books.
FFF. These would be more accurately de-
scribed as ‘ holes left in the brickwork of vault,
probably for the centering. (There is only one
slight notch in the stone.) ’—T.D.A.
