Note 634 — Chapter XIII · THE SEAWARD WALLS.
Reading edition
Cf. Proceedings of the Greek Literary Syllogos of Consple., vol. xvi., 1885; Archæological Supplement, p. 32. The following reading of the inscription has been suggested:
Πολλῶν κραταιῶς δεσποσάντων τοῦ σάλου
Ἀλλ᾽ οὐδενὸς πρὸς ὕψος [εἴκοσιν ποδῶν]
Τὸ βληθὲν εἰς γῆν τεῖχος ἐξηγερκότος
For the words in brackets, read instead, ἤ εὐκοσμίαν. Cf. Mordtmann, p. 53.
