General Notes April 5 - Figure v. 7 top on wall yet to serve as stylobate, probably for column, at v - 5 north side to north nave wall = 9.62 m. fast wall to north aisle wall = 5.80 Fra south nave wall to south aisle wall = 5.74

Nave = 9.62 North Aisle = 5.74 North aisle = 5.80 " wall = .765 South " = .75 22.675

Aisle wall cannot yet be computed w. any accuracy.

Appears to be two aisles on either side, judging from walls - one beyond each. two of about same width. Do not seem to vary more than 50 cm. at most

22.6757.20 Fr. S. aisle n. inside to outs wall / outside \
13.055.85 Fr N. aisle v. inside to " / outside \
35.775 m.13.05

Width of Basilica should it have 4 aisles - roughly.

Length of Nave w. apse roughly 44. m. This makes length of nave thrice its width to two aisles, just what one might expect for a Basilica.
