Soli, the theatreAlfred Westholm

Continued from p. 69

… A clearing is begun here too. For practical reasons it is left for the time being the clearing of the facade of the inner parallel wall down toward the theatre, where also some loose stones and earth seem to indicate that the rock may lie rather deep. The earth from this clearing is shovelled down to the orchestra, from where it is carried to the eastern necropolis. The explanation for this wall complex is givenly that the rock here slopes down toward the east corner of the scene, the same thing that gave rise to the walls vid on the outer side of the east eisodos. The situation is moreover entirely analogous to that previously described vid in the vicinity of the west eisodos on this wing. The only difference is that the inner parallel wall here there is superfluous and is replaced by the solid rock, which here rises higher up toward the level of the retaining walls.
