ARCHITECTURAL REMAINS IN IKARIA.

63

The wall F, which terminates in a Byzantine grave, belongs to a late
period, and is built of small stones. Upon it rested the column with the
Ergasos inscription (No. 7). We turn now to the building II, which, as we
know from an inscription on the door-sill, was the Pythiou, or temple of
the Delphian Apollo (plate vi). This building is on a much higher
level than the remains heretofore mentioned, the difference in level be-
tween the base B and the threshold of the Pythion being 2.074 m.
Though much of the north side14 of the temple has disappeared, not even
the substructure of the wall on this side being left,15 the material for a res-
toration is ample. The anta b, in the front, is 1.35 m. from the corner

a. At the point c, the lower part of the opposite anta remains, broken
off short ; and, measuring 1.35 m. from this, we have the position of the
comer d, of which the substructure is still extant. From the point h, on
the line drawn at right angles to the corner as found, to g, the end of the
threshold, is 2.95 m., while from the other end to the exterior face of the
wall e is 3.73 m. This threshold, shown in Ft;/. 7, is of very careful
workmanship, and compares favorably, for instance, with the threshold

14 More properly northeast side, as the front does not face the east, hut the south-
east.

15 This may he due in part to the fact that the water from the higher ground found
an outlet by the north side, and had cut a channel several feet deep beside it, passing
over the foundations of the building G.
