Note 29 — THE TEMPLE ON THE ACROPOLIS BURNT BY THE PERSIANS.
Reading edition
Footnote 29: (return) Whether the present condition of the stone of the stylobate still in situ favors this conjecture, is for those on the spot to decide. It looks in Dörpfeld's plans (Ant. Denkm., ı, I, and Mitth., XI, p. 337) as if it had a hole in it, such as are found in the pedestals of statues.
