THE ORDER OF THE MAUSOLEUM.

85

The lower lacunarial stone above the architrave of the
colonnade is ancient. It fits very exactly at the mitre
with the stone at right angles to it.

The egg and tongue moulding which runs above the
transverse beam and inner face of the architrave below
the lacunar, is represented by portions in the wall-case
(No. 996). Both of the mouldings by the angle palmette,
which is composed of two parts joined by a mitre, are
preserved. The ancient parts in the restoration are two
fragments at the angle between the south side of the
transverse beam and the architrave of the colonnade; and
on the north side, half of the angle palmette next the wall.

The same moulding has been used in the rebate above
the lower lacunar stone. Here it is modern through-
out. Opposite the lower line of this moulding is a
Lesbian cymation and astragalos moulding (for which,
see No. 997).

Of the upper lacunar course, one stone at the angle
formed by the transverse beam and the wall is original
(Newton, Hist. Disc, pi. 26, figs. 10-12), and gives the
mitre at the angle and a part of the face. There is no
setting line or other indication to show how much the
slab ought to overhang. In the rebate on its upper edge
is a cymation and astragalos moulding, with palmettes
at the angle. No part of this is antique. Portions of the
original from which it lias been taken are shown in the
wall-case (No. 998). The lacunar is closed with a cast
of one of the sculptured panels (No. 1041).
