ARCHITECTURAL NOTES: S. Bldg., Room 5 Central plinth (restored to 54x54x21) like where it is certain plinth once stood - to north face of s. stylobate is a distance of 6.75 m. (Plinth of col. 5). The s. stylobate wall is only 0.78 m. thick, unlike stylobates elsewhere in bldg. which have a thickness of at least 0.86 m. as has the west stylobate of this room (room 5). The column plinths & coping stones cannot be set so far back therefore from the n. face of the stylobate. Thickness of wall 0.78 0.54 0.24 Plinth Plinths were set back probably 0.24 m. instead of 0.32 as on w. stylobate. 6.75 (above) .24 .27 6.75-.26 m. 1/2 plinth Cont. p. 2508 Col. 3 to col. 6
