1 I DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES.
Plate XIV.
SECTION THROUGH THE PERISTYLE OE THE TEMPLE.
The arrangement of the cross-beams, lacunaria, and Corinthian columns of the posticum, is shown in the
section. There are few temples existing in which the details of the ceiling exist in so perfect a condition. The
only examples that I remember to have seen are the Temple of Theseus at Athens, and the smaller temple at
Balbec.
Plates XV. and XVI.
DETAILS OE THE ORDER OE THE TEMPLE.
The architrave here is unusually deep, and its moulding of great projection. The ornaments of the moulding
are similar to those of the Temple of Bacchus at Teos. The frieze is enriched by an elegant ornament of acanthus-
leaves and consoles, which give a fine effect of light and shade. The cornice, though rich, is too shallow to be in
good proportion to the lower members. The capital has an ornament in the hollow of the cushion, somewhat
similar to that in the capitals of the temple of Apollo Smintheus.
At the top of each flute there is carved a small vase in the hollow. The mouldings of the base are not
sufficiently bold to be in good style. On the whole, this, though a rich and interesting example, is not a specimen
of a good period of art.
Plate XVII.
CAPITALS OF ANTiE AND CORNICE OE CELLA.
Eig. 1.—Elevation of pilaster, capital, and of the cornice which runs round the cella.

PLAN OE THEATRE.
Plate XX.
DETAILS OE THE ORDER OE THE THEATRE.
The proportions of this order vary from those of the temple, the architrave and cornice being shallow and
the frieze deep.
The capital is a unique specimen of Ionic, but rather heavy in effect.
