And the side-chambers were broader as they encompassed the house higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house continued upward; and so one went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the middle chamber.

The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor.

Και ο οικος επλατυνετο, και ητο κλιμαξ ελικοειδης αναβαινουσα εις τα πλαγια οικηματα· διοτι η ελικοειδης κλιμαξ του οικου ανεβαινε προς τα ανω κυκλω κυκλω του οικου· οθεν ο οικος εγινετο πλατυτερος προς τα ανω, και ουτως ηυξανεν απο του κατωτατου πατωματος εως του ανωτατου δια των μεσων.

And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.
