roof to roof ofthe lodges-—a. distance of twenty—iive cubits from doer to door. Then he arranged a. colormade of

sixty cubits;—-with a. colonnade all round the court of the gate. And at the front of the entrance gate up to the front of the Porch of the Inner Gate, was fifty cubits. The lodges and porches had latticed

windows with verandahs around the gates, as well as verandahs around the porches and windows. But there were palms over the porches. Then he brought me to the Outer

Court. There I saw cloisters, and a worked tesselated pavement all over the court. There were thirty cloisters in the court. And there wasa tessela· tion at the sides of they gates, the tesselation extended the whole breadth ofthe gates. Then he measured the breadth

from before the Tower Gate at the front of the court, with a verandah outside for one hundred cubits on the East, and North. He also measured length and breadth of the gate that faces to the north of the Outer Court, with its three lodges on each side, and its porches and cloisters were of the same size as at the first gate,·tifty cubits long, and twenty·—five cubits broad., With the windows, and porches, and verandahs like the form of the gate that faces towards the East, with seven steps ascending to it, with a verandah over them. There was also a gate tothe Inner

Court on the South, a gate to the North, and to the East, and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits. Then he led me to the South,

where TI saws a gate towards the south, and he measured its porches and verandahs the same measure of

25 the others, with their windows, sur- rounded by verandahs,—»fifty· cubits
