These buildings have splendid approaches and doorways of suitable dignity. The colonnades of the peristyles are finished with ceilings of stucco, plaster, and fine wood panelling. In the colonnades which face the north are Cyzicene triclinia and picture galleries; on the east the libraries, the exedrae on the west; halls and square entrances face the south that there may be ample room for four triclinia, and for the servants who attend them and assist in the amusements.
