PLATE XVII.
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE ORDER.
The beauty of these capitals renders them worthy of an enlarged and more minute representa-
tion ; it is given at A.
B. An enlarged section of the coronamenta or cornice.
G. Section through the antepagmentum superius or supercilium of the smaller door-ways.
D and E. Profiles of the base-mouldings of the columns and antae respectively.
PLATE XVIII.
LONGITUDINAL SECTION THROUGH THE VESTIBULE.
This section exposes the elevation of the large door-way, and shows the section of the lacunaria.
The door opening is 10\6* high by 5\10vv wide. The antepagmenta are 15i inches wide at the
bottom, and are contracted an inch only at their summit; the supercilium was surmounted by an
hyperthyrum terminated by ancones, the fiTA of the Erechthean inscription.
PLATE XIX.
TRANSVERSE SECTION THROUGH THE VESTIBULE.
This section shows the elevation of the smaller door-ways in the humeri or side-walls of the
vestibule. Being less in width their height is diminished, so that the top of the supercilium ranges
with the top of the greater door-opening. Instead of the hyperthyrum they have only a small plain
moulding. The step level with the pavement of the interior ranges with the top of the bases of
the antae.
