Note 404 — Chapter IX · THE ROMAN CITY
Reading edition
The ancient wall south of the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral may be of this age. It is of large stones, some of which are drafted. It runs east and west, but is not founded on rock, though the base is 18 feet below the present surface. Probably the rock is 20 or 30 feet lower still on this line, and the wall is described as standing on debris. Pal. Expl. Fund Quarterly, April 1894, p. 146. It is not of necessity a wall of the city.
