The two raised middle rows of columns differ from the lower rows of columns on the south and north side of the portico by their chapter forms.

While the pillars on the right and left side of the hall imitate a closed papyrus umbel, the natural model for the capitals of the two upper middle rows of columns is the open papyrus umbel. These pillars are nothing more than the imitation of plant stalks - as in the case of the Taharka Column in the First Great Court at the Ramses statue. The difference in height between the lower side aisles and the three raised naves was compensated for by external walls with window grilles.
