| Notes: | Related Contexts: 138, 140 About 0.70m from the eastern end of the wall, a squared rectangular block lies on the north side of the wall, facing into room 10. On the top face of the block is an inscription with the tops of the letters pointing east. The lettere ΙΣΤΙ Ι are discernible., see drawing: [drawing] At the eastern end of the block, above the letters, are two holes and tracess of a third, measuring 1.75 x 0.5 cm. These probably were cut to receive some kind of metal or wooden decoration. This block is a spolion, because the inscription would not have been visible with the rest of the wall built on top of it. On western side of the wall, there is a post hole, 9 cm in diameter, about 14 cm from the western edge of Wall 133. This wall appears to abut Walls 127 and 86, but likely all of these walls come from the same construction phase, along with the northern wall, 134. 24.6.16 EJ: Coin found within Wall 133 during continued excavations today.
