Notes
NOTES ON [SM D5/6/7] and [SM D5/5/21]
To reach the gallery, it was necessary to climb over the ten rows of benches on the main floor. Two breaks in the screen fronting the gallery were proposed on [SM D5/5/16] but amended to a single entry point on [SM D5/5/36]. The single opening, marked 3 feet 4 inches wide ([SM D5/6/7]) and 3 feet ([SM D5/5/21]), was stopped on either side by an acanthus console.
