Upon the stylobata sal, the columns are raised, equal in heighth to the extreme diameter af 
the walls of the sylobata; their thicknes is the tenth part of their heighth, including the 
capitals and bases. The episty lium is in heighch equal to half the thickness of the columne

in the third book.

(*) Monopteral signifies having but one wing or aile. 
(89) The tribunal and alcent, here mentioned, is evidently 
the pedestal, or podium, upon which the columns stand; 
for inmediately after it is calld tylobata. There was, no 
doubt, a fight of steps in the front to ascend this podium.

(105) The tholus is the cupola, or dome; it sometimes 
lignies the center stone or ornament in the croun of che 
dome. Concerning the figure of the dome of the cell, which 
appeared above the entablature of the colunns, we can drav 
no information from the antique, that partof the temple at 
Tivoli being desroyed, but there is a pat of the wallof 
the cel stilete, which ries above the level of the cornice. 
and which shews no inclination from the perpendicular like 
the arch of a dome; so chat the springig of che dome must 
have been above that part, if any dome there was; for in 
the relevo of the monopteral round temple inthe villa le¬ 
dici, there is no dome, bu a blocking, or plinth, pon the 
cornice, and abovethat àarof, ike that of the Tover ofthe 
Wind at Athens; he stones that forned che rof beig in 
the same manner, cut into the figure of tiles, 
(1) We know not the figure of the fower here men- 
toned, bu, as ktis sad to be of che sie of the capials 
ot the columns, it may alo have ben ofa finiar shape: 
for thus it was found to have been in the Temple of the 
Winds at Athens, acordng to Mr. Stuart.
