tilian agreed with it ; though Mr. Greaves , who 
meafured both thefe Feet with great Care, found 
fomeDifference between them, flaring the Cipjfutian y 
as above, 967, and the Statilian 972. But by Tee- 
tus’s quoting Thilander , it is plain he had not 
himfelf meafured the latter ; and therefore the Foot, 
called by him the Colotian and Statilian , is indeed 
purely the Colotian or Cojfutian Foot • and the 
fame has occurred to me alfo very nearly from my 
Meafureofthe Height of the Trajan Pillar, which 
I find, from the Ground to the Top of the Cimatium 
of the Capitol, to be nyFcet iolnchest; andthis 
Height divided by 120, gives very nearly 966 for 
the Quotient, 
For the Greek Foot there feems to be no further 
Myftery,than that it was intended to be made to the 
Roman in the Proportion colle&ed from Tliny , 
which is, that 625 Roman Feet made 6 oo : Greek\ by 
. which Account the Greek Foot ihould contain 1007 
of fuch Parrs as the Roman contains 967 5 and the 
a&ual Quantity I took off was 1006.
