This is probably the site of the temple of Artemis Eukleia
mentioned by Pausanias (I. 14, 5, and compare IX. 17, 1).
In wood remarks (p. 136) that in this capital the central
enrichment over the cymatium between the volutes is an
unusual feature. From the absence of mortices by which
the capital could be firmly secured either to the archi-
trave or to the shaft, he infers (p. 133) that this capital
probably belonged to some sepulchral stele or other small
monument, where strength of construction was not re-
quired. Botticher, who engraves this or a similar capital,
is of the same opinion. The opposite face of the capital is
nearly all broken away.
Width from centre of volute to centre of volute, 12§ inches. Synopsis
No. 398. Inwood, Erechtheion, pll. 24-25. Botticher, Tektonik,
pi. 30, fig. 7, text, p. 299.
(A. 30.) Volute of Ionic capital. Inwood (p. 128)
states that it was found near the site of the temple of
Kike Apteros, and that from its scale it probably belongs
to that temple. This, however, is not the case, as may be
seen by comparing this fragment with the capital of the
temple of Nike Apteros in Ross, Akropolis von Athen, pll.
vii., viii. The pulvinus of this capital is ornamented with
leaves, as in the example from Athens in Botticher's
Tektonik, pi. 31, fig. 5, text, p. 299.
Height, 9 inches ; breadth, 9 inches. Synopsis No. 404, where it
is incorrectly described as a capital from the temple of Nike
Apteros. Inwood, Erechtheion, pi. 21.
(A. 31.) Yolute of Ionic capital, which according to
Inwood (p. 127) was found in a wall below the north
side of the Akropolis at Athens. In the eye of this
volute a rose is sculptured in relief. In the capitals
of the temple of Athene Polias this rose was of bronze
gilt, for which a recess is carved in the marble.
Height, 7f inches ; breadth, 9 inches. Synopsis No. 410. Inwood,
Erechtheion, pi. 20; Botticher, Tektonik, text, p. 299.
