For the convenience of the reader, an appendix is added giving the principal statements of the classical authors so far as they refer to Babylon.
ROBERT KOLDEWEY.
Babylon, May 16, 1912.
For the English translation special thanks are due to Dr. Güterbock for the trouble he has taken in reading the proofs, and the courtesy he has shown in suggesting alterations in the difficult architectural terms.
The use of the term “moat wall” has been decided on for the massive brickwork of the fosse in preference to the word revetment as more accurately expressing the nature of the construction, although the expression is not used in describing modern fortifications.
