RESTORATION OF THE MAUSOLEUM. 171

order. Two or three neatly-tooled pieces of stone
were found, measuring 10" by 7" by 5", with rectan-
gular cuttings in them parallel to the sides. These
stones had been placed so that 10" was their perpen-
dicular dimension; and from their proportions and
form it is to be presumed that they were the dentils.

Of the cornice were found small fragments of
the bed mould, a simple echinus; a few portions of
the corona, 8-g" deep, with a plain echinus at the
top and a moderate drip; and several stones of the
cymatium. These stones were hollowed out on the
upper surface, to the depth of 4>\" to form a gutter,
and at their joints had Weatherings, similar to those
on the treads of the steps' (Plate XXVII. figg. 5, 6).
Their fronts were ornamented with a bold honey-
suckle pattern; at intervals were antefixal lions'
heads, which served as spouts to the gutters at the
back. (Plates XXIV. and XXX.)

Each stone is 1' 9" long, and has a lion's head
upon it; thus the heads, were arranged so as to
measure 3' 6" from centre to centre. Prom the
evidence of.a corner-stone, we learn that these heads
were not placed over the centres of the columns;
they therefore give no information as to the width
of the intercolumniation.

The bottom of the gutter inclines slightly towards
the centre, in order to carry off the water through
the lions' heads.

At the distance of 1' 10" from the face of the fillet
above the cymatium, a line is marked on the sur-
face of the gutter-stones (Plate XXVII. fig. 5). This
line marks the commencement of the pyramid; for,
