The pavilion is a good place for strumming a lyre, for the echo is smooth and mellow; it is a good place for chanting poetry too, for the recitation rings out fine and clear; it is a good place for playing draughts and hearing the sound made by draughtsmen on the board, or for playing cottabus and hearing the thud of arrows dropping into the pot; for all these sounds are brought out to the best advantage in this pavilion.
