TEMPLE OF 1IEKATE AT LAGINA. 557
The intercolunmiations, measured from ecntre
to centre of eacli, are 8' Oiy".
On tlic north-east side the base of a single
column still remains in position at the distance of
14/ 7-J" from the wall of the cella, an interval
rather greater than that between the cella and the
peristyle on the north-west front.
The line of the temple from these bases towards
the south-east may be traced by a mass of ruins
composed of drums of columns, pieces of frieze
and architrave, and other marbles, forming an
irregular mound extending for about 73 paces
from the north-west to the south-east. This
mound presents to the eye two principal heaps,
which occupy, respectively, its north-west and
south-east extremities, and are connected by an
intermediate lower ridge, where the mass of ruins is
very much less. See the Plan and the View of the
ruins taken from a point near the middle of the
south-west wall of this peribolus (Plate LXXVIII.)
On the south-eastern heap occur shafts from
columns on a smaller scale than those already
noticed in the other heap, and, apparently, of a
different Order. These smaller columns are fluted
only in the upper half of the shaft. The diameter
of the unfluted part is 2' 1". Lieutenant Smith
also noticed here the following architectural
marbles.
(1) Two pieces of a cornice V 3" in depth. This is
composed of a cymatium, enriched with honeysuckle
pattern, above which are two fascias separated by
a bead, enriched with the bead-and-reel moulding.
