It is situated at a distance 600 m from Moria-6 km from Mitilene. It is about an arced work 170 m long and 17 m high with 17 arches. Every opening is divided into 3 successive arches supported on columns. Every column has epicranial works with moulding and abacus. The columns and the vault arches are of local marble. Nowadays it is under construction and its biggest part, the so called ‘kameres=arches) are preserved. Twelve columns are still standing while among them seven arches of the middle row and one of the lower, sculptured with grey marble, exist. On the upper top, the arch made of plinths carried the channel that brought water. Some of its parts are scattered and saved at the centre Mitiline. It is dated back in the end of 2nd or early 3rd century A.D. It has evident classical characteristics; therefore it was characterized as ‘Hadrianeio-like’. The water gathered from the Olympos Big Lake, while at the total route of the 26 km it received water from other springs. It is said that the quantity of water that supplied the city was 127.000 m3 per day, a great amount even these days.
