PLATES XLI. XLII.
PARTS OF ARCHITECTURE.
PLATE XLIII.
Fig. 1. A Cornice of white marble, found in the area before the Gymnasium. The ends of the
modillions, which are imperfect, are here supplied.
Fig. 2. Soffit of the Cornice.
Fig. 3. Architrave of white marble over the doors of the circular Exedra in the Ephebeum.
The Sima is greatly mutilated.
Fig. 4. A Pedestal and Base of white marble, of one piece. There are also small fragments of
some others, its companions, near the above cornice. The upper Torus of the Base, and upper
Listel of the Scotia, were in too bad a state for measurement.
A large statue of marble lay nearly buried in the earth, not far distant from the above fragments,
vested in the Eastern or Parthian habit.
PLATE XLIV.
" The figures on this Plate are the remains of a Temple at Ephesus; the length of which was
about one hundred and thirty feet, the breadth eighty. The Cell, or nave, was constructed with
large coarse stones. The Portico was of marble, of the Corinthian Order. Including the base and
capital, the columns were nearly forty-seven feet high : the shafts were fluted; and, though their
dimensions were so great, each of one stone. On the frieze was carved a bold foliage, with boys.
The ornaments in general are extremely rich, but much injured. This, perhaps, was the Temple
erected at Ephesus, by permission of Augustus Caesar, to the god Julius; or that dedicated to
Claudius Caesar on his apotheosis." (Chandler, p. 12 4.)

SUCH PARTS OF THE ORDER AT LARGE AS COULD BE COLLECTED FROM
