PLANS AND DRAWINGS OF ATHENIAN BUILDINGS.
G. Foundation block (at the present ground level) for the marble paving-
on the north of the Erechtheum, which was laid nearly eight feet
below the old ground level at this point.
H. Level of the marble paving.
J, J. Start of the marble stairs leading by twelve steps to the higher level
at the east of the Erechtheum.
VIII. —Section, Plan and Elevation of the Acropolis Wall on the north side
where it is partly built of Capitals and Column-drums from the early
Temple of Athene (Pl. 6).
A. Upper part of the parapet wall, now missing.
B. Existing two courses of the parapet, smoothly worked.
C. Rough courses of stone below the internal ground level.
D. D. Poros capitals from the early temple of Athene.
E. Column-drum from ditto.
F. F, Ground level on the inside.
G. Inside of the parapet, smoothly worked, but not draughted.
H. H. Abaci of the early capitals, which show on the external face of the
wall. Each abacus has a large dowel-hole in the centre.
J. J. Drums of poros columns, with one side sawn off; see L.
K. Early capitals shown in plan, horizontally.
L. Early column-drums.
In the section and plan of the wall, the black shows portions of the early
Temple of Athene in section.
The plain hatching shows work of the fifth century B.c.
The cross hatching shows the Acropolis rock.
IX. Section of the Acropolis wall (huilt by Kimori) near the S.E. Angle, where it
cuts into the ancient Pelasgic wall (Pl. 6); see No. 96 on the Acropolis Plan.
A. A. Stone platform, about 18 feet wide, extending beyond the solid wall.
B. Parapet wall now missing at this part.
C. Made earth and stones used to fill up the higher level when Kimon’s wall
was built.
D. Primitive Pelasgic wall; see No. 96 on the Acropolis Plan.
X. Part of the Pelasgic wall at the S.E. of the Acropolis (PL 7); see No. 96
on the Plan of the Acropolis.
At this part the wall is about 15 feet 6 inches thick; it is all built of the
local rock, roughly hammer-dressed.
VIII. Based on drawings in one of M.’s
note-books, I. 62.
G. If the reference is right, the upper part
of the drawing shows the inside of the wall, the
lower the outside. Probably the confusion was
unintentional,
IX. Based on drawings in one of M.’s note-
books.
X. Based on drawings in M.’s note-books;
I. 96.
“The rock is smoothed, but not levelled to
receive wall.”
