Note 183 — Chapter XXXVIII · THE INFLUENCE OF EGYPT UPON TEMPLE-ORIENTATION IN GREECE.
Reading edition
In the lists of temples which follow, all the orientations were obtained from azimuths taken with a theodolite, either from the sun or from the planet Venus. In almost every case two or more sights were observed, and occasionally also the performance of the instrument was tested by stars at night. The heights subtended by the visible horizon opposite to the axes of the temples were also observed.
