of the palmetto and acanthus patterns. On the top of this
capital are sinkings where the marble has been attached
to some object placed above it. Two faces of the pedestal
have been nearly obliterated by long exposure.

Height, 2 feet inches. Rayet and Thomas, pi. 17, fig. 6; Mauso-
leum Room Guide, No. P. 28.

1136. Capital of a pilaster, from the temenos of Athene
Polias. In front is a floral ornament of acanthus scrolls
and a palmette ; beneath it a running scroll. On each
return is a palmette ornament, beneath a pulvinar,
and above a band of rosettes (cf. 1134, note). On the right
face beyond the ornament is part of an inscription in
honour of one Apollonides.

The form of the stone, the unworked back surface, and
the cramp holes at the top, seem to show that this stone,
though having some of the elements of the foregoing,
served as a pilaster capital.
