APPENDIX 1 (U. Quatember)
Level 5: Cornice of the Lower Story
The cornice of the lower story has not been preserved.
131
Second Story
Levels 6 and 7: Stylobate and Bases
The stylobate and the bases of the upper story have not been preserved.
Level 8: Columns
It is not possible to determine the position of the preserved fragments.
8 Column Shafts (pls. 73,1-2)
Due to their poor state of preservation, none of the column fragments could be attributed to the upper story with certainty.
Nonetheless, it seems possible that some are among the shaft fragments listed below. Hie pieces in question are made of red
granite.
Level 9: Capitals
It is not possible to determine the exact position of the preserved pieces.
9-1 Column Capital (pls. 83, 3; 84,1)
Corinthian capital, light gray marble.
H. 58 cm, lower diam. 47.5 cm.
Hie abacus and the lip of the calathos are broken off, one side is missing completely. The acanthus leaves are altogether
damaged and the drooping tops are chipped. Hieir fonn is identical with 3-1, only the drillwork seems to be slightly flatter.
Hie top is worked with a pointed chisel, two dowel holes (8><8 cm and 7x8 cm) are preserved.
9- 2 Column Capital (pl. 84, 2)
Corinthian capital, light gray marble.
H. 59 cm, lower diam. 47 cm.
Only one comer of the abacus is partly preserved. Hie piece was broken into several fragments and shows modem restora-
tions. Two sides are largely damaged, the acanthus leaves on the other two sides relatively well preserved. Hieir fonn follows
3-1.
Hie bearing surface shows a scamillus which is flattened with a tooth chisel. Hie preserved comer of the abacus is worked
with a pointed chisel. No dowel holes preserved.
Level 10: Architrave (pl. 60)
Fragment 10-1, apparently two matching pieces, is documented on Skizzenbuch 1686. It clearly is an outer left
(i. e. east) corner from an aedicula. According to the two preserved letters “AP” we can ascribe it to the very
beginning of the inscription. The findspot as indicated by the “Skizzenbuch” (“in front of the door east of the
middle”) might be slightly off from that position; nonetheless, considering the fall from the second story, or
even a possible re-location, it does not contradict this assertion. 10-2 can be located according to the inscrip-
tion “IE<I>” that only appears in this position. Judging from the side view documented by L. Bier, it seems to
originate from a freestanding architrave because the piece was either hollowed out or worked off for the sup-
port of coffer blocks. 10-3 only preserves a single “A”. Its position is thus rather arbitrary, relying simply on
the findspot (“in front of the east entrance in the debris”) as documented in the “Skizzenbucher” In this regard
10- 4 is more instructive: it clearly is the outer right (i. e. west) corner of a freestanding aedicula with the letters
“OPI”. The combination of both these facts allows us to place the fragment without any doubt. In addition, the
surface on the side shows an additional fascia that has been worked off on the front to allow more room for
the inscription. The letters on the next fragment, 10-5, can be reconstructed as the word “KAI”, which appears
several times in the text. The thickness of the pieces proves that it is a wall fragment and therefore we can only
place it in this position. 10-6 very likely comes from the same block and has precisely the same thickness.
Remains of a lewis hole preserved in the top show that it comes from its center of gravity. This fits very well
