building is T form in plan. The leg of the T is 7.10 m. wide, it has an entrance at
the foot and three windows on one side. It opens into the upper part of the T through
a broad arch. This upper part is only 4.25 m. wide. The two arms are separated
from the middle part by arches, and there is an entrance in the middle from the west.
It will be observed that the whole building is open throughout. Directly west of it is
a rock-hewn basin. If this building were differently oriented, and if its doorways were
differently disposed, it might pass as a church with transepts. As it is, it is impossible

one end the fine arch already mentioned and an exactly similar arch at the other. In
one side of the passage is a doorway opening into a group of buildings surrounding a
court. The rooms on the west of the court have walls that are partly of quadrated
masonry. On the north side of the court is the large building of polygonal masonry
which has a dated inscription 1 on a lintel in its upper storey (Ill. 334). This building
has the general outlines of a private house, but it has no interior division walls. It
