“ The accumulation is chiefly owing to the repairing and making good of the road for many centuries after its original formation as I find it made up to contain 3 feet of the present surface, to cut through this has in many places been a work of time and hard labour. ”

“ For a distance of more than 700 feet of the way at present opened up, there is a continuous line of tombs and sarcophagi which appear to have been substituted for the pieces of the Portico for a considerable length on the East side while those on the West side remain intact sarcophagi being placed between them. ”
