On the western side of the ruins are houses with fronts of large quadrated blocks, and rear and side walls of polygonal work. This is [for ch's] common throughout the town.
The house at the extreme left on the opp. page has a colonnade of rectangular piers before a wall of fine polygonal masonry. The lintels, of which one is dated in the year 434 A.D., are of unusual dimensions. It is quite plain that houses of polygonal masonry were built in this town as late as the middle of the V century.
