ARCHITECTURE FROM PRIENE.

1131. Seven fragments from the cornice of the temple, with
lion's-head water-spouts, connected by acanthus scrolls,
which spring from acanthus leaves immediately below
the heads of the lions.

L133. ionic capital from the Propyla3um of the temonos of
Athene Polias. On the upper surface are two dowel
holes, with channels for running in lead. We have little
information as to the order of the Propylasum, a small
structure containing the doorway to the temenos. It had
four Ionic columns at each end, and according to the older
explorers, it contained six internal piers of which all
trace was afterwards lost. Upon these, capitals are
placed, similar to 1134-6, below.

Height (between upper and lower beds), 8J inches; width (above),
2 feet 2 J inches. Antiqs. of Ionia, iv., p. 27 ; for the Propylaium
see ibidem, p. 32, pi. 5, and compare Antiqs. of Ionia, i., (1821),
chap. 2, pi. 11; Mausoleum Room Guide, No. P. 27.
