GYMNASIUM, ETC. 469
from north to south. The diameter of these columns
was 2' 2". On the east side the "bases of two were
in position on a stylobate; the intercolumniation
was 6'.
On the pavement stood a plain cylindrical colnmn,
2' 2" high by 21" diameter, on which is an inscription
(Plate LXXVIIL, No. 7) commemorating a certain
Servius Sulpicius Hekatseus, who is.described as
a physician and a friend to one of the emperors,
probably Hadrian, whose name appears on the
cornice.
I also found here part of a small slab, 14|" deep, on
which was a group in low relief representing a male
figure, wearing a petasus and a chiton reaching to
the hips : at his right side is a draped female figure.
Both these figures hold out pater®, as if offering
libations. On the right hand the slab is broken away.
In the same area were some fragments of two
colossal statues, one draped, the other, probably,
that of a Roman emperor.
Between this building and the street on the west
was a drain, running east and west, large enough
to admit a man's body. Over this drain a flight of
steps led down into the street.
On the south of the paved area the foundations
ran on towards the edge of the terrace; but the
walls were roughly put together, as if they were of a
later period. Between the paved area and the edge
of the terrace I uncovered part of a Mosaic pave-
ment of very ordinary character. The sculpture
discovered in these ruins being Roman and deficient
in style, I did not examine the ground further.
