12. There was a barrier of 21 inches in front of the recesses on both sides, and the recesses on each side were 10 1/2 feet square.
13. Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one recess to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was 43 3/4 feet. The openings of the recesses faced each other.
14. Next, he measured the pilasters — 105 feet. The gate extended around to the pilaster of the court.
15. The distance from the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the gate’s portico on the inside was 87 1/2 feet.
16. The recesses and their pilasters had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticoes also had windows all around on the inside. Each pilaster was decorated with palm trees.
17. Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a paved surface laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,
18. which flanked the gates and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.
19. Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the exterior front of the inner court; it was 175 feet. This was the east; next the north is described.
20. He measured the gate of the outer court facing north, both its length and width.
