The acropolis was trapezoid on plan, 117 m e.-w., 136 m on the n. and 111 m on the s. The main residence, of which no trace is left, stood on a 3·5 m high podium, 126 × 30 m, with three streets and three lanes, and had a brick-lined well and an elaborate drainage system attached to the baths. The small dwellings of the acropolis had 12 houses of uniform dimensions in a row with an equal number of baths connected through runnels with a sewer in the street. The main drain of the acropolis ran underground and discharged itself in the dock mentioned below.
