was thought by Fellows to fix the lengths of the short
sides as 9 feet 6 inches, while he made that of the long
sides about 15 feet. Falkener (p. 266) makes the dimensions
of the cella 11 feet 3^ inches by 20 feet 8^ inches, and
places columns between antae to support the slabs of the
frieze.

Of the dentils only two small fragments were found
{Ionic Tr. Won., p. 22; Asia Minor, p. 476), and these
apparently were not brought home. The existence, how-
ever, of the dentils may be inferred from the marls s below
the cornice.

Of the cornice and pediment considerable fragments
remain. These have been incorporated in the restoration
of the pediment which is exhibited in the room. It will
be observed that all the elements necessary for the
reconstruction of the pediment are preserved, but the
length is doubtful (see above), since it is uncertain how
far the tympanum was set in a rebate.

The principal original portions in the restored pediment
are described below (No. 933).

Direct evidence is wanting as to the character and
dimensions of the central chamber. It is, however, nearly
obtained from the lacunaria by Falkener.

The ground plan of the door of the cella or chamber
is given by the marks on a stone (Ionic Tr. Mm.,
p. 23). Its width is not stated, but was probably about
4 feet. Fellows also claimed (Ionic Tr. Mon., p. 24) to
have found the ornament of the door and fragments of
the bases of the pilasters. The former is probably that
engraved by Falkener (p. 267). Evidence is also wanting
for the existence of a door in the substructure, and this
appears unlikely, considering the height of the base
preserved, in which there is no door, and considering that
there are no signs of a doorway interrupting the large
frieze. A door was placed in the base by Eohde Hawkins
