English, as on the record
NICOSIA, THE PAPHOS GATE "The fine Cathedral combined with the extent and solidity of the walls and bastions give an air of grandeur to Nicosia…. The city is entered by three gates, namely those of Larnaca, Cerina, and Paphos, of which the latter is the most deserving of notice." J. M. Kinneir-1814 (Journey through Asia Minor, etc.) G. Edmund Jones. (Image is from "Cyprus Calendar" which was published at least 1950-1954. Copies can be seen for example on website for The Centre of Visual Arts and Research (CVAR)).
