_Architrave_, from a Mungril Compound of two Languages, [Greek: arche] _Principalis_, and _Trabs_; it's the first Member of that which we call _Entablature_; in Chimnies the _Architrave_ is the _mantle_; over the _Jambs_ of the Doors and Lintels of Windows, it's called the _Hyperthron_, from the Greek [Greek: hyper], _super_ and [Greek: thyra], _Janua_ or _Ostium_. _Astragal_, from the Greek word [Greek: astragalos] which signifies the _Vertebrae_, or little Joints in the Neck or Heel; hence the French call it _Talon_, or the Heel itself: It's a Member of _Architecture_ joyned to _Bases_, _Cornices_, _Architraves_, _&c._ it's round like a Ring, and therefore it's called by the Italians _Tondino_. _Attiq;_ signifies after the manner of the City of _Athens_. In _Vitruvius_ it's the Name of the _Basis_ which the Moderns have given to the _Dorick_ Pillar. We call _Attiq;_ in our Buildings, a little Order placed upon another much greater; for instead of Pillars, this little Order has commonly nothing but Pillasters of a particular Fashion and Order, which we call _Attiq;_ _Apophyges_, vide _Conge_. B _Basilica_, from the Greek word [Greek: Basileus] _Rex_ or King among the Ancients. It was a great Hall which had two Ranges of Pillars, and had two Isles or Wings, upon which were Galleries: These Halls, which at first were made for the Palaces of Kings, were afterwards turned into Courts of Justice, and after that into Churches; which Form has always been observed. _Ballustre_ is the lateral part of the _Jonick_ Capital. Our Workmen have given it that name, because it somewhat resembles a _Balluster_. C _Chanel_, in the _Ionick_ Capital, is that part which is under the _Abacus_, and lies upon _Echinus_ or Egg, and which has its _Contours_ or Turnings on every side to make the Voluta's. _Cariatides_ are Statues of Women, which serve instead of Pillars. _Cincture_ is that part which makes the middle of the _Ballustre_ of the _Ionick Voluta_. _Conge_ in French, in Latin _Apophyges_, from the Greek word [Greek: apophyge] because that part of the Pillar taking as it were a rise, seems to emerge and fly from the _Basis_ like the _Proceltus_ of a Bone in a mans Leg, In short, it's no more than the _Rings_ or _Ferils_ heretofore used at the Extremities of wooden Pillars, to preserve them from splitting, afterwards imitated in Stone-work. _Corona_ is properly that part of the Cornice which the French call _Larmer_ or _Drip_, because it defends the rest of the Work from Wind and Weather: It is often taken by _Vitruvius_ for all the Cornice.
