Torso of an obese bearded figure, from the neck to the waist. The figure appears to have been seated, leaning back, and having a staff and drapery under the left arm. Cockerell restores it as a figure standing and leaning on a staff. Marble; height, 1 foot 3/4 inch; width, 8-1/2 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 34; Cockerell, _Phigaleia_, pl. 5, Stackelberg, pl. 30, fig. 4; _Exp. de Morée_, II., pl. 23, fig. 4. THE PHIGALEIAN FRIEZE. The frieze of the Temple of Apollo Epicurios consists of 23 slabs of marble, somewhat resembling Pentelic. The slabs are each 2 feet 1-1/4 inches high, and they have a combined length of 101 feet 3/4 inch. The frieze formed an internal decoration, above the colonnade within the cella, and had two long sides measuring 35 feet 9 inches, and two short sides measuring 14 feet 2-1/8 inches. The excess in the measured length of the slabs is explained by the fact that they overlapped at the angles. The slabs are about 3-1/2 inches thick, and rested on the edge of the architrave, being fastened with bolts to the ground behind. The subjects represented are: (1) Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs; (2) Battle of Greeks and Amazons. The former subject has 11 slabs of a combined length of 45 feet 6-3/4 inches, while the latter has 12 slabs measuring 55 feet 6 inches. The Centauromachia, therefore, occupied two sides, less the length of one slab, which contained a part of the Amazonomachia. Several attempts have been made to fix the probable order of the slabs, but except in certain cases we have no evidence. It is probable that the slabs, No. 541 with Heracles or Theseus, and No. 530 with Centaurs and Kaineus, were in the centres of two short sides. They are longer than any other slabs, and are well fitted to form the central groups in the compositions. Slab No. 540 was certainly a corner slab, as is proved by the rebate. Slab No. 532 was probably a corner slab. Slabs Nos. 527 and 528 evidently were next to each other, and No. 528 was probably at a corner. Beyond these fixed points, the order can only be determined by considerations of composition. In the description that follows, the slabs are taken in the present order of arrangement in the British Museum, which is that proposed by Mr. Murray (_Greek Sculpt._ ii. pl. 14) except as regards the position of the slabs of the north side.
