notes: | This is the first phase of the Değirmendere aqueduct, which was replaced by a new channel in the last 18 km of the aqueduct after it was cut by a fault around 159 AD. The last 18 km of the aqueduct is therfore a double specus; the older one was partly dismantled to build the new channel alongside at a slightly different altitude. |
