goo ARCHITECTURAL INSCRIPTION. 



markable that the rude statue of Minerva-PoHas was preserved by 

 the Athenians to so late a period as the age of Phitarch. See Euseb. 

 Pr^ep. E. 1. iii. c. 8., and Wessel. Prob. p. 310. 



L. 2. ^AyovXr,9iv. See Harpocrates in v. 'Ay^vXv- This word and 

 'Ay^ccvX^ have been improperly confounded by some writers ; see 

 Corsini, F. A. Diss. v. 



L. 6. The archonship of Diodes does not commence before July in 

 the year 409 B.C., for the archonship of Glaucippus finished at the 

 end of June in that year. Barthelemy, Mem. des In. xlviii. 407. 



L. 23. royyuXou; Xi9ou^. There is some difficulty in pointing out the 

 part of the building to which these words refer. The scholiast on 

 the Pax of Aristophanes, v. 28., merely uses the expression, ea-Ti Je 

 xx] yoyyuXoi; XtSog, without giving any elucidation. 



L. 29. UccXcca-TTJ TO lAtrpov, says Phrynichus, c.viv tcv i. In this form 

 it always occurs in the inscription. It is also found without the iota 

 in one of the MSS. of Herodotus, Cod. Med. ; see Oudendorp ad 

 Thom. M. 674. On the Nilometer of Elephantine we find Traxdia-Toi, 

 (see Girard's Mrmoire,) but the inscription there is of the age of 

 Severus. 



L. 30. As KiU^Kvov occurs in the inscription, it may be sufficient 

 authority for the word in those places, whei-e some propose to alter it 



to ittovoy.^a.vov. PolluX, 1. vii. 121. 



L. 34. The expression used by Euripides to denote this part of a 

 building, is xdiva. Kto<rtv tjxlSoXccy Bacch. 591., lapidea trabes columnis im- 

 posifce. See D'Orville, Charit. ii. 626. 



L. 38. 'E7rfp>. This word, as Heyne remarks, is applied by Pausanias 



to work in relief, scocff Itcars^oii d tov Kpas/ouf y^VTTsg tuxtv eTreifyoco f^ivot, 



" on each side of the helmet are griffins worked in relief," L. i. In 

 the language of the Greek artists, Trepii^ai/^ ^u^)x^ are " figures in high 

 relief;" Trpoo-TUTra *, " those in low relief " See Schweigh. in Athenas. 

 1. V. c. 38. 



* Turn; is the word applied to sculpture in relief in general ; see the passage alreadj' 

 cited, p. 380. of this volume, from the Hypsipyle of Euripides.
