Zengibar Kalesi. Stone block near the jvek sepnlchres. The Quarries, whence came most of the building material for thecity, are inside the city walls, on a hillside at the southeast corner ofthe walls. South of the Stoa, on an eminence, is a large quadrangularbuilding of unknown use. The southeast gateway is still standingintact; the greatest care was bestowed upon its construction, and thestones were adjusted with painstaking precision. It is built in accord-ance with the laws of mural defence in vogue in antiquity; that is,with a tower, and with the road so approaching the gateway as toexpose the shieldless side of the attacking party. The walls themselves are more beautiful even than those of Mes-sene or Assos. The following sketch will give an idea of the carewith which they were built, and of the way in which the stones werejoined, at least in the face view. 122 THE WOLFE EXPEDITION
