Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Guide to the Sculptures in the Elgrin Room, Vol. 2: In the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities
This is probably the site of the temple of Artemis Eukleia mentioned by Pausanias (i. 14, 5, and compare IX. 17, Inwood remarks (p. 136) that in this capital the central enrichment over the cymatium between the volutes is an unusual feature. From the absence of mortices by which the capital could be firmly secured either to the archi trave or to the shaft, he infers (p. 1 33) that this capital probably belonged to some sepulchral stele or other small monument, where strength of construction was not re quired. Botticher, who en graves this or a similar capital, is of the same opinion. The opposite face of the capital is nearly all broken away.
