The Kiponos Gate

The western gate, one of the five Temple Mount gates. There are many opinions as to the orgin of the name. For example, Kiponos is possibly the Greek name of the man that constructed the gate, or alternatively, the name of a rose garden that was adjacent to the gate. (Kiponos os Greek for "rose;" Source: Tractate Midot 1:3).
