⁴ In front of the ^(A)chambers was an inner passage ten cubits wide, a way of one hundred cubits; and their openings were on the north. ⁵ Now the upper chambers were ^[a]smaller because the ^[b](B)galleries took more space away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building. ⁶ For they were in ^(C)three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courtyards; for that reason the upper chambers were ^[c]set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.
