REMARKS ON THE RUINS. 
building are at present only marked by their foundations, with 
the exception of one window to the west, and three to the east. 
They open from a couple of corresponding wings; which divisions 
are each sub-divided into three spacious apartments, the outer 
ones alone communicating with the pillared courts at G G. In 
the center of those courts or quadrangles stand the plinths of four 
small columns, in diameter not more than two feet six inches,

occupying the whole surface, and consisting of two figures in 
each. The first figure is clothed in the long robe and buskins, 
but his head wears a kind of cowl, which passes over his mouth, 
and hangs down upon his chest and back. His face is much 
mutilated, and so are his hands, in which he appears to be
