In duplici autem porticu conlocentur haec membra: ephebeum in medio (hoc autem est exhedra amplissima cum sedibus) tertia parte longior sit quam lata; sub dextro coryceum, deinde proxime conisterium, a conisterio in versura porticus frigida lavatio, quam Graeci loutron vocitant; ad sinistram ephebei elaeothesium, proxime autem elaeothesium frigidarium, ab eoque iter in propnigeum in versura porticus.
In the double colonnade, however, these provisions are to be made. In the centre there is to be the ephebeum (a large apsidal recess with seats for young men) a third longer than it is wide; on the right the coryceum (for exercise with the quintain); next to this the conisterium (for athletes to powder themselves); adjoining the conisterium at the angle of the colonnade the cold bath which the Greeks call loutron; at the left of the ephebeum, the elaeothesium (for athletes to oil themselves); next to this is the cold room from which the furnace-room is entered at the angle of the colonnade.
