fragmentary votive relief of grey-blue marble, now in the Estense collection at Vienna,
which represents a goddess (Agdistis) standing, with a kdlathos on her head, a phidle in
her right hand, and a large tympanon in her left, between two lions. To her right stands
a youthful god (Attis) in short chiton and chlaiuys. To her left (now missing) stood an
elderly god (Zeus), whose hand held a sceptre. On the left margin of the relief is a small
torch-bearing maiden. Below, in lettering of s. iii B.C., is inscribed 'Xva^LiroXri [—]

(1) Within the eastern portion of its foundations there has come to light the lowest
course of a pre-Peisistratic peristasis, of which the N. wall was uncovered by F. C.
Penrose, the W. by Welter. The wall was 2-50m thick, and the per/stasis measured
30'50™ broad by c. 6om long. This was to dpxatov iepbv built by Teukalion (Paus. 1.
18. 8).
(2) The temple of the Peisistratidai, begun 6'. 515 B.C., was a more ambitious structure,
having the same proportions, size, and plan as its Hellenistic—Hadrianic successor. It
was designed as an Ionic dipteral building with eight columns on the short side and
twenty on the long side. Its length and breadth (i07-7om x 42•90'") make it comparable
