AKCHITECTUKAL FRAGMENTS.

to left, holding a large amphora on his shoulder ; a woman,
with long hair, and a long robe, heating a pair of cymbals,
with head thrown back; a young Centaur holding a
bowl (?) above a large crater on a stand. On his back is
a nude youth, leaning back, and playing the double pipes.
Along the upper margin is a roughly executed egg-and-
tongue moulding. The second slab is hewn out, but
quite unfinished.
The temple of Dionysos at Teos was ascribed by
Hirschfeld, on historical grounds, to the period between
250 and 150 B.C., but Pullan is perhaps more correct in
inferring, from the rough character of the sculpture and
architecture, that it was rebuilt in Roman times.—Pre-
sented by the Society of Dilettanti.
Parian marble. Height, 2 feet 2 inches; length, of first slab, 4 feet
1 inch ; of second slab, 3 feet 9J inches. Excavated by R. P.
Pullan. Pullan, Antiquities of Ionia, IV., p. 38; pi. 25 (only
roughly suggests the second slab). For the remainder of the
frieze, which is now in the garden of the Old Konak at Smyrna,
see Hirschfeld, Arch. Zeit., 1875, p. 28; pi. 5, and IJilfstaf.;
Arndt-Amelung, Einzelverkauf, Nos. 1345-1348.
The Corinthian Order.
Fragment of the capital of a Corinthian column, with
long straight leaves alternately ribbed and not ribbed,
springing from a course of acanthus leaves.—Elgin Coll.
Pentelic marble. Height, 1 foot 4 inches. Synopsis, No. 268 (102) ;
Ellis, Elgin Marbles, II., p. 169. This capital is perhaps derived
from the Tower of the Winds (compare No. 447 ; Stuart, I.,
chap, iii., pi. 7). Similar caps are also found in the Theatre of
Dionysos, at Athens. Durm, Handbuch der Architektur, II., 1,
p. 285.
Upper part of a small Corinthian capital, with angle
volutes and small central volutes, springing from acanthus
leaves. Eoughly finished work.
Limestone. Height, 11 inches; width of abacus, 16£ inches.
