The coarser type of mycenaean walls in Greece.
Wall above wall divides the whole region
of the ruins into comparatively level terraces.
The higher of which are very broad.

The chief ruins however, exclusive of these
terrace walls and the high retaining wall
toward the west, are those which go by
the name Kasr il-Abd; for the ruins on the
"Acropolis" are completely disintegrated.
This must be the run long associated
with the name of ? since there are
no other ruins near Arak il-Emîr worthy
of being called a palace.

A close examination of the ruin however
leads on to doubt if this building was
ever constructed to serve as a castle or palace,
indeed it seems hardly possible that
it could ever have been inhabited at all
earlier than the so called Saracinic period.
