Note 155 — Chapter XVIII

Passing Addono’s Gate to the right we find a deep angle in the palace wall, where water is poured out to King Aho (Adahoonzou I.), at an entrance called Patin sa, “near the Patin-tree.” Beyond it an avenue of pollarded trees, leading to nothing, encloses a long and large ridge, such as were turned up by the hoe in the good old times: it is still kept as a model. Further eastward, and going under the usual “Vo” gallows with a central mat, we come to the Han-ho-nukun-ji Gate, where Agaja the Conqueror’s palace begins. The next building of any importance in the enceinte is the Agrigomen Gate, which, like the whole of the southern and south-western side, has been described in chap. x.
