The excavations which were made in June and July of 1902 were included in the report of the work done in 1901.
The excavations, of which the results are now to be reported, did not begin until 11th August and were continued until October. The greater part of House No. 4 had, however, been excavated in 1900, but our description of it was postponed until the whole should have been brought to light.

page 391 note b Walls have been found in the churchyard which continue its direction.

page 392 note c It is wanting in some places west of the north gate.
page 392 note d This, as far as we can tell at present, seems to have been the case; and supposing that the arrangement of streets which we have brought to light reproduces itself in other parts of the city, we should have it divided into twenty insulæ by three roads (including the high road) from east to west, and four from north to south. The progress of the excavations seems to render this arrangement increasingly probable, but we must decline to speak with certainty on the subject.
