Each of the four quadrangles is surrounded by a number of rooms. In all there were between seventy and eighty of these apartments, each of which opened into its own quadrangle, so far as I could judge. A colonnade ran round the interior of each quadrangle. Query, what is it ? — a ASKLEPIOS AT EFIDAUROS AND ATHENS I 5 gymnasium, a palaestra, a college for the priests, or a great hostel ? I confess the last-named seems the most probable.
