of rock cut tombs. The structure itself
may have been only a monument
belonging to one of these tombs. It was
illustrated and described by DeVogüé
and has a date [blank] (W.K.P. insc [blank])

It consists of a high rectangular base,
about 10ft square and seven high, supporting
an aediculum of four sub-ionic columns
which carry an entablature and a
very low pyramidal roof. The capitals
of the columns are not all turned in the
same direction, the two on the north side
facing one way and those of the south
side the opposite. (see photo)

North from the monument about five
minutes walk is a large rock cut tomb with
wide inclined dromos leading down to a
classic façade of two Doric columns cut in the rock.
Within is a large square chamber with
doors on three sides leading into chambers
where are the arcosolia and sarcophagi, 3 in
each.
