Note 216 — Chapter II · (continued 2)
Walter Armstrong translation
Κεραμωι δ' ου χρωνται, says Strabo. These words, as Letronne remarked à propos of this passage, combine the ideas of a tiled roof and of one with a ridge. The one notion must be taken with the other; hence we may infer that the Babylonian houses were flat-roofed.
