C/ The public building.
It occupies the whole north-east angle of the crossroads of the second East-West street and the main North-South street, on which it opens. It measures about 19 m. East-West by 16 m. North-South, and is distinguished from the neighbouring constructions by its walls of large blocks of ashlar ("ashlar") and its deep foundation trenches, which make it possible to trace its limits even where the materials were removed in the course of time.
A North-South wall divides it into two parts: to the West, a vestibule 8 m. wide, and to the East a cella 11 m. wide.
1/ The vestibule of the public building.
In its present state, it is bounded on the North by a wall almost completely levelled, except in its eastern part, and which joins an enormous block encroaching on the North-South street. Its western and southern limits are marked by large deeply sunk blocks, without it being known whether there were continuous walls there or only a kind of portico. Towards the middle of the western façade, perforated or notched blocks are probably the debris of the pivot of a monumental door, which a widening of the street from 3.50 to 5 m. perhaps allows one to locate in the northern part of this façade.
In the median axis of this narthex, one notices bases of square piers: the two furthest away measure nearly 50 cm. on a side and are made of two blocks fitted and notched to allow the insertion of a tenon; another, placed at 2/5 towards the South, is made of a single stone of 70 X 60 cm., and the block lying elongated above it is perhaps an element of a pier. The spacing between this one and the third allows one to restore a fourth pier. This row of piers may be interpreted in two ways: either the vestibule was entirely roofed and they supported the ceiling beams,- or they served to support an awning leaning against the façade of the cella.
In front of this, one sees in the vestibule a row of rubble stones, probably a course fallen from the wall, in front of an earth bench, visible on the plan. In the middle of this
