aliquot parts |^ = 2.025 = modulus for the horizontal
and vertical dimensions.
Let C D The diameter of the Lower circular step = 2.025 x 63 = 127.57
Let C E The whole height of the circular Monument = twice the lower diam-
eter = 2.025 x 126 = 255.14 = 127. 57 x 2
Let the whole height of the circular Monument including the Tripod

equal 150 Moduli.
Let the height of the square plinth equal 15° ^0(Ml = 75 Moduli
