Col drum d 42 ht 70 lying in earth upper side a level with S. end wall of main portico lower " " " " of flat block off of NE corn of Kitos Earth under col extends only a few cm (05-10) & rests apptly on a light wall wh makes a rt L with the light N-S. wall c 1.00 S of the S wall of the S. Schiff paved room of the E building. Col E set upright on wall .50 + N-worth 2 blocks wh. seem to be part of wall as it fell leant agst N. side of col. wh looks thus as if it fell with them or was already. The latter looks more probable because the col drum fitted so neatly in its place between NW corner of E room of jarissa ? & SW corner of S bldg portico But it was not built into the wall under it. So it may have fallen & been "adjusted" by users of SW corner of the E Bldg.
