The first phase of the aqueduct has a specus of 0.7 x 0.5 m. This was cut by a fault after 30-35 years, probably in 159 AD, and the northern part of the channel was replaced by a new one with dimensions 0.75 x 2.3 m. The new channel arrives in the city at a higher point than the old one, and functioned for another 200 years till one of the earthquakes between 358-368 AD
