Então foi em direção à porta que dava para o leste e subiu os degraus que davam acesso a um corredor comprido. Em cada lado do corredor havia três celas para os guardas da porta. Cada cela tinha nove metros quadrados, ou seja, media três metros de comprimento por três metros de largura. As celas estavam separadas por um muro de uma espessura de dois metros e meio. Quando o homem tomou a medida da espessura da muralha que fica na parte externa à entrada da porta, obteve a medida de três metros.
