Ὀρεστέρα παμβῶτι Γᾶ Μᾶτερ αὐτοῦ Διὸς Ἃ τὸν μέγαν Πακτωλὸν εὔχρυσον νέμεις. Sophocl. Philoct. v. 395.
From a drawing of the temple by Peyssonel in 1750, it appears there were then standing three columns with their architraves, a part of the cella, and three detached columns. Mr. Cockerell found there in 1812 only three columns standing with their capitals; but enough remained of the ruins to satisfy him that it was of the kind called by Vitruvius Octastylus Dipterus—that the exterior columns of the peristyle were about 7 feet in diameter at the base, and that the peristyle was upwards of 260 feet in length.
