الماء القادم من النقطة 0 ينبع من عمق بنر صغيرة عبر ممر من الطمي ا المحروق و بخروجه من طول الحاشية العليا للحائط، يتسرب الماء في ثلاثة أنابيب : الأنبوب 1 يزود الماء للنافورة الثمانية الأضلاع [a]، الأنبو ب 2 يزود قناة السقي (الساقية) إلى عمق الحديقة [b] ، والأنبوب 3 يوج ه الماء اتجاه الحوض المربع الذي يوجد حاليا داخل جناح المدخل) ، من هنا يتوجه الماء إلى قناة السقي الأخرى في العمق الأخر للحديقة و عبر ا لقناة الصغيرة المركزية يتوجه إلى الحوض الثماني الأضلاع [c] .
L'eau provenant du point 0 jaillit du fond du petit puits ΰ travers le conduit en terre cuite. En sortant le long du bord supιrieur des parois, l'eau s'ιcoule dans trois tauyaux. Le tuyau 1 fournit l'eau ΰ la fontaine de la cuve octogonale [a]; le tuyau 2 alimente le canal d'irrigation (sιguia) au bout du jardin [b]; le tuyau 3 conduit l'eau vers la cuve carrιe (actuellement ΰ l'intιrieur du hall d'entrιe): de lΰ, l'eau est diri- gιe vers l'autre canal d'irrigation au bout du jardin, et, ΰ travers le petit canal central, vers la cuve octogonale [c].
The water, coming from the point 0, climbs up from the bottom of the well through the terra-cotta piping. Flowing out along the upper edge of the wall, it flows into three pipes. Pipe 1 provides water to the octagonal vase fountain [a]; pipe 2 feeds the irrigation channel (sιguia) at the garden hedge [b]; pipe 3 conveys the water to the square pool (currently in the entry hall): from there water is distributed to the other irrigation channel at the garden's hedge and, through the central rill, to the octagonal vase fountain [c].
