FOOTNOTES:
[1] An exception occurs in a temple at =Assos=, where the architrave is decorated.
[2] It was sometimes used in connection with the Doric order, as in the case of the =Tholos at Epidauros=, where the internal circle of columns is of the Corinthian order.
[3] A corresponding curvature in plan has also been discovered in Egyptian architecture, for example, in the Second Temple Court at =Medinct Abou=.
[4] Erected eighty years after the death of Euripides, whose plays, like those of Æschylus and Sophocles, were performed in temporary theatres.
[5] Note the similarity of this portico to the projection from the back of an Elizabethan stage.
[6] The reader may be reminded that longitudinal is in the direction of the nave from west to east, transverse, across the nave, at right angles, while the “diagonals” span the bay obliquely.
[7] The above was written before the revolting desecration of Belgium by the German invasion.
