- Abstract
- View of palace, which looked toward the principal temples and rose above a moat, the walls of which were pierced with triangular cavities for purposes of illumination. At one extremity it was terminated by a hexagonal building, of two stories, called Pateripooa, in which, on great occasions, the king appeared to the people assembled in the square below. (See Davy, pages 365-366).
