Note 104 — Chapter IV · GENESIS OF THE EARLY MOHAMMADAN PALACE

Podium of the altar and of the upper gymnasium at Pergamon, Delbrück, pt. ii, p. 104. The whole subject is admirably handled by him, pt. ii, pp. 108-11, where the accounts left by Diodorus and by Strabo of the substructure of the Hanging Gardens are examined, and the mutual interaction of India and western Asia is considered. See Koldewey, Das wieder erstehende Babylon, p. 90, for a description of the vaulted substructions which he believes to have supported the Hanging Gardens.
