Water is obtained either by digging new wells, or by col¬ 
lecting it from the roofs of buildings; but wood, which 
is absolutely necessary for cooking the food, is provided 
with difficulty and trouble; and that which is slowly 
procured is quickly consumed. In such times these 
walks are opened, and an allowance distributed to the 
tribes, according to their numbers. Thus they are 
conducive to two good purposes ; to health in time of 
peace, and to preservation in time of war. If walks are 
provided after these directions not only behind the scene 
of the theatre, but also adjoining the temples of all the 
gods, they will be of great utility in every city. As they 
have been sufficiently explained, the method of arrang¬ 
ing the different parts of baths will now follow.
