Summary

Description
English: From the information board opposite the stoaː "Immediately beyond this is the great stoa, built in the 4th century B.C. which is 110m. long. It was used for accommodation purposes by visitors to the sanctuary and by the sick. At the east and west ends were two rooms equipped with benches and tables. These rooms were used for sleeping (enkoimesis) by those who sought the oracle from Amphiaraos. They were given his advice, or even cured, in a dream, while they slept. A sleeping and cure scene is depicted in the well-known relief dedicated to Amphiaraos by Archinos of Oropos in the 4th cent. B.C."
