most carefully finished, and was therefore intended to be

Restorations of the East Pediment. (1) With 10 figures; wounded
warrior as restored. Prachov, Man. dell' Inst., IX., pi. 57. (2)
With parts of 12 figures; wounded warrior not as restored.
Cockerell, supplementary plate ; Miiller, Denkmaeler, I., pi. 8 ;
Blouet, III., pi. 58, fig. 1 ; Murray, I., pi. 7. For two heads
from this pediment, see Brunn, Denkmaeler, No. 121.

The figures beginning with the left end of the pediment
are the following :—

175. Warrior lying down, supported by his arm, within the
handles of his shield. He is wounded below the right
breast.

Restored :—Crest, part of visor, four fingers of left hand, four toes of
left foot; right leg from the middle of the thigh. Cockerell,
p. 32, pi. 14, No. 4; Blouet, III., pi. 59, fig. 2.

176. Warrior advancing, with a shield on the left arm, and
a lanee (?) in the right hand.

Restored :—Head, hands, right hip ; most of shield, Cockerell, p. 32,
pi. 14, No. 2; Blbuet, III., pi. 59, fig. 1 ; Brunn, Denkmaeler,
No. 28.

177. Wounded warrior fallen backwards on his shield.

Restored :—Head, arms, shield, right leg, left leg from the knee.
The correctness of the restoration has been doubted. The left
side is most corroded by the atmosphere, and would therefore
seem to have been uppermost. In that case the figure must
have resembled that of the fallen warrior in the centre of the
west pediment. It is thus drawn by Cockerell, in a supplemen-
tary plate. Engraved as restored, Cockerell, pi. 14, No. 1 ;
Blouet, III., pi. 61, fig. 1.

178. Figure of a youth leaning forward, to draw away the
fallen warrior.

Restored:—Nose, arms, pubis, most of right foot, and left foot;
Cockerell, pi. 14, No. 3; Blouet, III., pi. 61, fig. 2; Brunn,

Denkmaeler, No. 26.
