Notes

The flues for the heating system are now more compactly and centrally arranged. The treatments for the two doors on the north side below the gallery are variations on the stele motif, that is, a shallow pediment flanked by half-roundels (as with [SM D1/2/20]) and a more shallow pediment stopped by antefixae. The door openings are framed by panelled pilasters.
