According to this, the division of the front would have been as 

 follows : — 



61'' W W IV W IV W IV 60'' IV CV = 735/ 



000000 



Feet, 7.4725 8.6975 7.35 9.4325 7.35 9.4325 7.35 9.4325 7.35 8.6975 7 4725 = 90.0375* 



In respect to the internal arrangements of the Temple, such measure- 

 ments as are given by Blouet, and on the German plan, thoiigli insuffi- 

 cient for a complete reconstruction, confirm, so far as they go, the 

 conclusions as to the system of pi-oportions adopted in the plan of the 

 Temple which has now been found to exist in its external dimensions. 



The breadth of the cella (including under that term tlie pronaos, 

 the naos, and the opisthodomos) was, — 



According to Blouet, M. 15.88 = 51.5139 feet. 

 „ „ German plan, 15.86 = 51.45 „ 



The length of the cella is not given by the Germans, nor in terms by 

 Blouet; but as he gives the measure of the distance from the centre of 

 one of the columns of the pronaos, and also from one of those of the 

 opisthodomos to the edge of the stylobate, it is easy, by subtracting 

 these measures from the measured length of the stylobate, to ascertain 

 that of the cella. 



The measure thus obtained! is 147.95 ft.; and the mathematically 

 correct measure appears to have been 147.91875. 



Tlie proportion of breadth to length, which, for the whole Temple, is 

 as 1 : 2f, is for the cella as 1 : 2|. 



Cella, B. 51.45 : L. 147.91875 : : 1 : 2.875. 



* This liypotlietical arrangement, though it corresponds very closely to the 

 measured dimensions, is unsatisfactory, in so far as it fails to afford in its main 

 horizontal division any measure equivalent to the height of the column ; which, 

 as Mr. Lloyd has pointed out (Memoir, p. 70), was a symmetry frequently at 

 least aimed at by the architect. In the Theseium, the line from the centre of 

 an ordinary column to the further margin of a third was equal to the height of 

 the column. In the Parthenon, three diameters and their two intercolumnia- 

 tions gave the measure. It may be hoped that the German expedition, before 

 the termination of its investigations, will obtain such measurements as may 

 determine, with certainty, the original spacing of the columns on both tlie fronts 

 and sides of the Temple, and thus afford the means of ascertaining the precise 

 ratios between the solids and the void spaces. 



t I subtract from the corrected length of the Temple, — not from that given 

 by Blouet, which (we have seen) is incorrect.
