100 GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. [pHlGALEIAN 
A circumstance which adds very much to the interest of these mar¬ 
bles is our knowledge of the precise time when they w 7 ere executed; 
for Pausanias, in his description of this temple, informs us that it was 
built by Ictinus, an architect contemporary with Pericles, and who 
built the Parthenon at Athens. These marbles are all engraved and 
fully described in the fourth part of the description of the Museum
