ii OF THE TEMPLE OF APOLLO EPICURIUS.
removed from north to south, and not in the direction of east to west as the generality of temples. It
is forty-seven feet in front, and one hundred and twenty-five feet long, and is ascended from the plat-
form of the peribolus by three steps. There are six columns in the fronts, and fifteen on the sides,
which are of three feet seven inches in diameter, and nineteen feet six inches in height, and formed
on the chaste Grecian Doric model. In the interior of the cella were attached columns of the Ionic
order of a very ancient character, together with a single insulated column of the Corinthian order,
over which on the four sides of the cella ranged the sculptured frieze. The columns and walls of the
temple are constructed of the hard and beautiful lime stone of the country, but the sculpture and
roof are of marble.
