of the Turkifh Malice. They are T wo Square Tomen, rather Larger thanOrdinary Staples, and 5 Stories High, the Outside being of Gomraon Stone,but the Paniiions and Floors within ofgood AJarble ; and Beautify’d toowith VETy Lively Carvings, and Paintings , and Figures , both of Men andWomen, as far as the Breast and Shoulders; but miftrably Defac’d andBroken. Under thefe or by their Sides, are in the Unknown Cha-

We enter*d one ofthcsc by a Dooronthe South side, fromwhich was a Walk erosi the wholeBuilding just in the Middle. But the Floor was Broke up, and so gaveus a Sighc of a Fault btlow, Divided aster the fame mam er. TheSpaceson eachhand were again Subdivided into 6 Partitionsby Thick Walls, eachPartition being Capable of reeeiving the Largest Corps ; and Piling themoneabove another, as their way appears to have been, each of thole Spacesmight contain at leaft 6 or 7 Bodiet.
