Note 117 — Chapter I · CONSTANTINOPLE IN THE SIXTH CENTURY[3]
Reading edition
The remarkable structure known as the Marble Tower, rising from the waters of the Marmora to the height of a hundred feet, near the junction of the sea-and land-wall is of later date, but its founder is unknown and it has no clear history in Byzantine times. See Mordtmann, op. cit., p. 13.
