68 SAMOS.
PLATE VII.
ORDER AT LARGE OF A DORIC BUILDING.
About the centre of the ancient city, and not far from the sea, are considerable remains of a
portico or agora. Its site is marked in the map by the words " ancient ruins."
The style of architecture is manifestly Roman. The cymatium of the capital is without a band
or fillet.
The pedestal with the base, probably of an Ionic column, is one of several belonging to the
same building.
PLATE VIII.
FRAGMENTS FOUND AT SAMOS.
In the map a spot is indicated, where some ruins of a Corinthian building were discovered.
The cornice, and the angle of a pediment, with encircled mouldings, were found amongst them.
It is of white marble.
The shadowed cornice, of which we have also given an outline drawn to a larger scale, forms
the lintel over the window of a small chapel above the theatre, a little to the east. It is in the
immediate neighbourhood of the large cavern, containing a reservoir of water, supplied by two
springs, which has already been mentioned.
