-156- is a good wall of which lower part is certainly contemp with -143-. Upper part contains piece of brink, as does S. end. It goes, however, with -141- of which lower part surely goes with it. -140- seen from north shows an opening blocked when fill had risen to level ca .40 below nearby mosaic. From S, the fill of door goes deeper to a floor? level ca. 0.70 below mosaic of Rm. —, The door block contains tile, frags of waterproof b.p. cement. and smear of white hard cement-plaster. The voussoir block on W jamb is earlier than blocking of door. It has pink cement between it and block below , same as appears lower on same constn.
