In aegyptiis autem supra columnas epistylia et ab epistyliis ad parietes, qui sunt circa, inponenda est contignatio, supra coaxationem pavimentum, subdiu ut sit circumitus.
In the Egyptian saloons, however, architraves are placed above the columns, and floor joists are to be carried from the architraves to the walls opposite. On the floor boards a pavement is to be laid that there may be a balcony in the open.
