"Now he constructed alternately a stone layer and a cypress bonding,
joining the two layers with bronze dovetails (tenons?) each weighing a
talent" (Eupolemus cited by Eusebius in _P. E._, 9.34.5).
Is someone able to describe what is going on here in such a way that this
building technique can be visualized? Is there any schematic or photo that
pictures this joining of wood and stone?
