EXPLANATION OF PLATES.

P. Section of ditto. The dotted lines at Q show the missing slabs of stone
which formed the lid of the conduit.
R. Cross section of the conduit, of which the longitudinal section is shown
at L.
VL—IFnZZ of the Acropolis, with lloclcs of the entablature of the ancient
Temple of Athene (Pl. 5); see No. 43 on the Plan of Acropolis.
A, A. Cornice of the pre-Persian temple, of poros stone; projecting on the
outside of the wall.
B, B. Rough back of the blocks of the cornice, seen on the inside.
D, Marble metopes of the ancient temple.
E, E. Architrave blocks of do., of poros stone. This is one of the longer
blocks ; others near are several inches shorter.
F, F. Blocks of fine poros stone, prepared by Themistocles.
G, G. Inner face of Themistocles’ wall, built with very smooth blocks and
draughted beds, as shown full size at K.
H, H. Projecting foundation of Themistocles’ wall, below the ground level;
the blocks here are rough on the face.
J. Filling-in of made earth behind Themistocles’ wall.
K. Section, full size, of the draughted beds of the blocks G, G.
L. Tooling, full size, on the face of Themistocles’ wall. This shows, with
much exaggerated distinctness, the marks of the wide square-toothed
chisel, which was used to dress the exposed face of the fine yellow
poros blocks to a smooth surface. It is only under a strong side light
that these chisel-marks are visible. The whole of the inner face of
Themistocles’ wall, above the ground line (that is between H, H and
B, B), was dressed in this way.
N.B. The old entablature is more broken than is shown in the drawing.
VII. Acropolis wall; section and interned elevation near the Erechtheum, (Pl. 5).
A. Upper part of the wall of Pericles, built of smooth poros blocks with
draughted beds.
B. Rough projecting footing, below the old internal ground level, before the
level was lowered for the Erechtheum.
0, 0. Two original slit-windows in the parapet wall.
D. I). Course of rough poros blocks from the early Temple of Athene, used to
build the foundations of the wall of Pericles. Some of these blocks
have the holes for lifting tackle.
E. Upper’ course of unfinished marble drums of columns, with projecting
blocks for lifting, built into the wall of Pericles.
F. Lower course of marble drums.
VI. Based on measured drawings in M.’s
note-books.
K, L. These were ‘full-size ’ in M.’s drawing,
but are not so, of course, in this reduced repro-
duction. The draft is noted as 1| in. wide.
