¹¹ In Roman times (mid second century A.D.) the original grand propylon was converted into a temple of Hygieia, and the passage into the gymnasium blocked: Kavvadias, , Το ἱερὸν 148.Google ScholarCf. Paus ii 27.6. The two doors on the east side were probably constructed then to give access to the Odeion, which was built at the same time in the central court, as well as to the other rooms of the gymnasium: see below p. 111.

¹⁴ Delorme, J., Gymnasion 98Google Scholar, argues that the pairs of small rooms at either end of the east and south halls are kitchens, and that since they do not exist by the west hall, that cannot be a dining-room. Since it is not likely that the rooms to either end of the south hall are kitchens, and it cannot be proved for the east hall, this argument is not conclusive.

¹⁵ This is proved by the fact that at Corinth and Perachora the place for the pillow is at the right-hand end of each couch. It is also evident from Plato's Symposion that the place of honour, occupied by Phaidros, was on the extreme right, and the inferior place, occupied by Aga thon as host, on the left; presumably there too the couches were arranged round the walls of the room.

¹⁶ Welter, loc. cit., esp. Taf. 14.

¹⁷ It is often supposed that couches could accommodate more than one diner; see, for example, the scene on an Early Corinthian column crater in the Louvre: Arias, and Hirmer, , A Hhtory of Greek Vase Painting pl. ixGoogle Scholar; and on the Marlay Painter's stemless cups (e.g. CVA Gallatin pis. 24.2 and 3; I owe this reference to Professor C. M. Robertson).

³⁴ So, too, certainly, the ἑστιατόριον at Perachora, immediately adjacent to the large cistern with apsidal ends: and also, in all probability, the ἑστιατόριον at the Argive Heraion. Neither of these can be a gymnasium.

³⁵ Frickenhaus, loc. cit., while proving the existence of the dining-rooms, suggests that these could be properly part of a gymnasium: he cites Athenaeus v 195d (the games of Antiochus IV; cf. Polybius xxx 26), which, after describing events goes on But this did not necessarily happen in the gymnasium, and, even if it did, may well have been a temporary or special arrangement. The κλίναι at Epidaurus were permanent.
