EGYPT
The restoration of an arch supporting
the western gate to the bath was completed
this year.L1) The northern section of the wall
abutting the bath building was rebuilt in
large blocks patterned after the extant
southern part. The threshold on top of the
arch was also restored. A large nummulithic
limestone block with a door socket, which
had been found nearby, was positioned next
to the southern one (preserved in situ), thus
clearly marking the span of the original
double-winged door (Fig. 12).
