RUINS OF TELMESSUS. 
pieces of stone; two being on either side, as 
uprights, and one laid across. The uprights are 
ten feet two inches, and five feet eleven inches, 
making the whole height of this door sixteen 
feet and one inch. The breadth of these stones 
is three feet ten inches, and they are twenty 
inches thick. The space for the entrance is 
seven feet three inches wide ; and the length of 
the upper stone placed across the uprights is 
ten feet seven inches ; all of one entire mass. 
The doors on each side of the main entrance, 
consisting only of three stones each, had, for 
their uprights, masses of eleven feet three inches 
in height, four feet in breadth, nineteen inches 
in thickness, and the space for the entrance six 
feet four inches : those upon the right and left 
of the three in the centre were still smaller. 
An engraved representation will perhaps give 
more perspicuity to this description.
