[Footnote 111: See Fig. 18, B, B. The fortified areas to the west of the roadway, which Nebuchadnezzar built out as direct extensions of the Southern Citadel upon its north side, are still in course of excavation. They have been christened the "Principal Citadel" and the "Northern Citadel" of the Ḳaṣr. The most interesting construction yet recovered there is a broad canal (Fig. 18, J), to the north of the palace-area of the Principal Citadel; this was evidently left uncovered, and it must have drawn its water-supply from the Euphrates through grated openings in the western wall. To the east of the roadway lines of defence were thrown out corresponding to those of the two later citadels. The foundations of their eastern wall, approximately parallel to the roadway, have been uncovered; but the whole of this area was destroyed by the Euphrates when it changed its course, and only the main fortification-walls can now be traced below the deposit of silt.] [Footnote 112: The red enamel has decomposed and is now green. All the lions, like the enamelled beasts of the Ishtar Gate, were found in fragments.] [Footnote 113: Compare the plan on p. 30, Fig. 6, where the Procession Street, in its course past the Citadel, is lettered G.] [Footnote 114: Cf. Koldewey, "Die Pflastersteine von Aiburschabu in Babylon," pp. 4 ff. The limestone is termed _shadâ,_ or "mountain-stone," and Koldewey suggests that it was quarried in the neighbourhood of Hit on the Euphrates. The quarries from which the _turmina-banda,_ or breccia, was obtained have not yet been identified.] [Footnote 115: The course of the Procession Street may be followed in the plan on p. 83, Fig. 31; it is there marked A. The Temple of Ishtar of Akkad is lettered H.] [Footnote 116: Fig. 30, G.] [Footnote 117: Fig. 30, E, F; compare also Fig. 27 on p. 74, with the same lettering.] [Footnote 118: Fig. 27, the gate numbered 2.] [Footnote 119: See Fig. 27, where the course of the road is lettered A, as in Fig. 30.] [Footnote 120: Fig. 27, B and C.] [Footnote 121: See above, p. 23, Fig. 3, where the position of the two temples is indicated by the letters N and M. The line of the city-wall along part of the south side is indicated by the mounds lettered B.] [Footnote 122: For the position of the temple in relation to the Ishtar Gate, see above, p. 30, Fig. 6, where the temple is lettered J, and the Ishtar Gate H.] [Footnote 123: See p. 64, Fig. 20, _d._ Compare also the reconstruction in Fig. 21.] [Footnote 124: See below, p. 71.] [Footnote 125: See below, p. 69.] [Footnote 126: I., 183.] [Footnote 127: Cf.
