I have removed the pottery from the trenches, finding another coin in the room by the stairs above R. + J., and finding letters painted on the first pot we found in situ. I haven't cleaned it yet. The NA in trench VI seems to refuse to become Agora or anything but just plain na.

Savas did not reach bottom in his cistern, as Lazaros thought. It seems to go down some distance yet. As cleared now, the passage-way is some six inches over my head. There are niches every so often for lights. The mud-lines are not surface mud, but strata in the rock.

I am working with the plans, but find that I have my difficulties getting any accuracy with the measurements in the trenches. Walls obviously at right angles refuse to appear as such on paper. But I will do what I can in the short time
