no considerable disagreement is found in their proportions, except in the mutules, of which the
length does not properly coincide with the breadth of the trigliphs. The sima was decorated with
lions heads, which are defaced.
As not one of the shafts of the columns was entire, or in its place, neither their diameter nor alti-
tude could be ascertained ; but if two feet six inches and six-tenths be taken for the diameter, their
diminution will be one-sixth ; and if six diameters and a half for the altitude, the height of the
entablature will be two-ninths and a half; but if steps are added to the columns, the height of the
entablature may be made one-fourth, the steps included. The columns, in the portico erected by
Philip of Macedon at Delos, and in the temple of Jupiter. Nemeus in Achaia,* have the
same proportions. The height of the entablature in the former is three-elevenths of the column,
which differs but very little from this. The example of the Doric portico at Athens is followed,
in placing the capital and members of the entablature upon one another.

called St. Giokgio.
