Presumably the floor as well as the walls was so treated, but it is impossible to test this point without destroying a portion of the pavement, whose excellent state of preservation deprecates any damage being done to it. Despite these ingenious precautions, a small amount of subsidence has actually occurred, though not apparently destroying the water-tightness of the bath. - [Previous: c5.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.67) - [Next: c5.69](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.69) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.68) · Pramāṇa
