furrows the surface of a slab of marble resting on the ground
beside a well that occupies one of the spaces inside the
Synagogue. The pattern of the furrows is free, though their
depth and width are exactly those of the strigils that mark
the roundness of the well. A disc of the same marble covers
the well, at the height of the point where these same strigils
begin. These furrows will capture rainwater, like those that
time has carved into the large stones that mark the path
from the entrance to the excavations to the synagogue.
