Drawing

English, translated from the French record

Two oblique views taken from inland towards the coast along sub-meridian axes, showing the acropolis of Amathus in the background and centre, the first tier of hills. In the foreground, a plateau area cluttered with limestone blocks in transit belongs to the third tier of hills; in the middle distance, the hills of the second tier have arranged slopes, notably the pyramidal knoll lit from the west in image 9.

French, as on the record

Les deux images, prises de l’intérieur vers le littoral selon des axes subméridiens, montrent à l’arrière-plan et au centre l’acropole d’Amathonte (premier échelon des collines). Au premier plan, l’élément de plateau encombré de bldcailles calcaires en transit appartient au troisième échelon des collines. Au second plan, les collines du deuxième échelon présentent des versants réglés : voir notamment la butte pyramidale éclairée par l’Ouest sur l’image 9. Octobre 1992, matin ; septembre 1978, après-midi.
