If now we add these amounts to the height, breadth, and length of 

 the Temple, on the level of the surface of the stylobate, we have tlie 

 following dimensions and relations to the common measure : — 



H. 64.3125 + 5,145 = 69.4575 = 128625 X 5.40 

 B. 90.0375 -f 8.575 = 98.6125 = „ X 7.666 

 L. 205.80 + 8.575 = 214.375 = „ X 16.666 



The following proportions appear : — 



H. from top of styl. : H. from base of styl. : : 25 : 28. 

 B. at „ : B. at „ :: 21 : 23. 



L. „ „ : L- » ?> : : 24 : 2o. 



The height of the steps on any one side is in the ratio to their 

 breadth of 6 : 5 ; and it is to the lower diameter of tlie column in the 

 ratio of 7 : 10; in both these respects corresponding with other 

 examples.* 



"We have now to ascertain, if possible, the height of the entablature 

 and of the pediment, and their proportions to the other members of 

 the front. 



The total height of the Temple from the surface 



of the stylobate being 64.3125 



And the height of the column being .... 38.5875 



We have 25.725 



to distribute between the entablature and the pediment. 



The only measure of these portions of the building is that of a 

 single block of the architrave given by Blouet (Plate 62), the height 

 of which as measured is 5.4174. 



Now, it is found that the height of the total entablature (architrave, 

 frieze, and cornice) is not infrequently in the proportion of one-third 

 of the height of the column, and that the architrave and frieze are of 



* See Lloyd's Memoir, p. 72. In the Temple of Apollo at Bassae, the pro- 

 portion of the height of the stylobate to the diameter of the column is as 20 : 

 30 ; which may be compared with the 21 : 30 of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. 

 The proportion of height of steps to their breadth in tlie Temple of Apollo is as 

 6 : 5 or 42 : 35 ; to compare with 42 : 36 of the Temple of Zeus.
