FOOTNOTES:
F3 Ut supra. (De Bello Jud. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2, 3.)
From above the horse gate repaired the priests
So called, either because near it were stables for horses; or
through it horses were led to be watered at the brook of Kidron,
to which it was near; or to be exercised in the valley; Josephus
F3 speaks of the "hippie", or horse
tower, which might be near it:
everyone over against his house;
for it seems there was a row of houses in which the priests
dwelt, and each of them repaired as much of the wall as was right
against his house.
