Note 191 — Chapter V · TRIUMPHAL ARCHES, TOMBS, AND OTHER BUILDINGS.
Reading edition
M. de Saulcy has recently attempted to prove that these tombs are those of the kings of Judah from David downwards. Their architecture is undoubtedly as late as the Christian era, and the cover of the sarcophagus which is now in the Louvre under the title of that of David is probably of the same date as these tombs, or if anything more modern.
