The stratification above this level is remarkable. From the upper marble slabs and even higher lie sloping inclined layers all of which end at the mentioned floor level 2,40. It is clear that the collapse-layers collapsed down into a room with the floor at level 2,40 from a building or similar south of the upper marble slabs and with the floor possibly at their level or higher. When this observation is made it lies close at hand to seek to determine the walls of the room, which seem to have been of mud brick. This is however not the case. Some mud bricks cannot in fact be distinguished between the two marble slab levels. On the contrary, on careful examination of the conditions it becomes clear that the horizontal layers south of the room's inner-wall extend right out to the facade itself There was thus no back side to the wall . The room is more precisely dug down into the earlier horizontal layers.
