558 TEMPLE OF IIEKATE AT LAGINA.
These fascias have not the usual projection of a
corona, but are on a level with the upper pro-
jection of the cymatium beneath; they arc sur-
mountcd by an egg-and-tongue moulding and
enriched bead.
(2) An entablature 1' 10J" deep, on which are
sculptured, all in one block, a cornice, frieze, and
architrave. The frieze is greatly compressed and
the corona has a very slight projection. Prom the
smallness of the scale this probably formed part
of the internal decoration of the temple.
(3) A piece of Doric architrave, with fftitlce,
V 2" deep.
(4) A piece of cornice 2' 1" deep, of rather a
heavy proportion.
No portions of the larger columns, the frieze, or
other members of the Corinthian order, such as
form the bulk of the north-west heap, Avere
observed by Lieutenant Smith among the ruins
in the south-east heap; and this difference in the
character of the architectural remains led him to
suppose that the ruins which form this part of the
mound belong to an edifice originally distinct from
the Corinthian temple, and that the two ^ heaps
represent two separate buildings.
In reference to this question it may be observed
that the breadth of the temple, as shown by the
wall of the cella and columns in situ at the north-
west end, is 59' 5". On the other hand, the length
of the entire mound, from the bases of columns
at the north end to its south-cast extremity, is
about 72 yards.
