Location | The south boundary of the landing pavers (Locus 1). |

Description | This smoothed limestone step is set in dirt, and seems to bond with the landing pavers (Locus 1). It shows sign of flaking, and is only partially revealed as its east extent is still under the fill and later Roman steps of the Propylaeum. It appears to be part of the same plan and style as the pavers and the threshold. |
