ES: "Esta vivienda presenta una organización muy similar a la edificación contigua. El espacio en el que se encuentra corresponde al patio y a él se abren las habitaciones ? letrinas.
No se conoce con seguridad la función de estas estancias. Es posible que la habitación del ala este -junto a la letrina- se usara como almacén o lugar de trabajo; en cambio, las dos habitaciones y la letrina del ala oeste (delante de usted) parecen corresponder al lugar donde vive el funcionario que dirigía la actividad de esta Vivienda de Servicio.
La escalera que puede observar a la derecha indica que éste fue también un lugar de paso. Servía para comunicar esta zona de servicio con la residencia situada al norte y con la planta alta del Cuerpo de Guardia."
EN: "This are is organised along similar lines to the adjacent building, the rooms and latrines opening onto the courtyard in which you ar enow standing.
It is not know with any certainty what this area was used for. The room in the east wing - next to the latrine - may have been used for storage purposes or as a working space. The two rooms and the latrine in the west wing (in front of you), on the other hand, seem to have been the residence of the official in charge of these servants' quarters.
The stairway to your right suggests that this also served as a link between these servants' quarters and both the residence to the north and the Guard Room on the upper floor."
