_Columns._--The architectural members of the first temple were of limestone. They are insufficient to fix the dimensions of the temple, which was, however, small. Mr. Petrie supposes it to have been not more than twenty-five feet broad. A volute and a complete base of an Ionic column were discovered, but were immediately destroyed by Arabs. The following fragments are preserved:-- [Sidenote: 1, 2.] Two members of an Ionic capital, consisting of two courses of an egg and dart moulding. The upper course is considerably the larger. The lower course is worked with a rebate to fit the upper course. Below the mouldings are the tops of the flutings. Upper course--height, 5 inches; diameter, 1 foot 7-1/2 inches; lower course--height, 4-1/4 inches; diameter, 1 foot 4-1/2 inches. _Naukratis_, I., pl. 3. [Sidenote: 3.] Fragment of necking of a column, of a different design from the preceding, and surrounded by a pattern of lotus buds and lotus flowers. Height, 11 inches; diameter, 1 foot 8 inches. _Naukratis_, I., pl. 3. [Sidenote: 4.] Fragment of necking of a column, somewhat similar to the preceding. Height, 4 inches; width, 5 inches. [Sidenote: 5.] Drum of a limestone column with flutings. Height, 4-5/8 inches; diameter, 1 foot 6 inches. [Sidenote: 6.] Lower part of the base of an Ionic column. Height, 4 inches; diameter, 1 foot 9 inches. _Naukratis_, I., pl. 3. MISCELLANEOUS FRAGMENTS FROM FIRST TEMPLE. [Sidenote: =101.= 1.] Upper part of an acroterion, worked below with a rebate. Height, 3-1/2 inches. _Naukratis_, I., pl. 14A. [Sidenote: 2.] Angle piece, with half of a palmette. Height, 5 inches. _Naukratis_, I., pl. 14A. [Sidenote: 3.] Fragment of a plane surface of limestone, with a series of circles painted in blue, white, and red. Height, 2 inches; width, 7-1/2 inches. [Sidenote: 4, 5.] Fragments of two sculptured rosettes, perhaps intended for the decoration of mud surfaces, and probably derived from the earlier temple. Diameters, 4-1/2 inches and 3 inches. _Naukratis_, I., pl. 18, figs. 7, 8. THE SECOND TEMPLE OF APOLLO. [Sidenote: =102.=] The remains assigned to the second temple are of marble, instead of limestone. They are too fragmentary for restoration, but include bead and reel mouldings, egg and dart patterns, portions of palmette and lotus patterns of elaborate design. Several of the fragments are brilliantly painted with red and blue. The second temple probably belongs to the second half of the fifth century. Compare _Naukratis_, I., pls. 14, 14A. MISCELLANEOUS SCULPTURES FROM NAUCRATIS. [Sidenote: =103.=] Fragment of the lower part of a draped standing figure. In the middle of the legs the drapery falls in conventional vertical folds. The figure is painted white with a red stripe down each side.--_From the temenos of Apollo._ Limestone; height, 1 foot 5 inches. _Naukratis_, I., p. 13.
