4 AM 71, Beil. 129. In the same article, p. 237 and n. 17a, Brommer adduces a drawing by H. W. Williams, dating from 1813–1818, as ‘confirming’ Smirke; in this the fragment certainly looks more like a sculpture, but does not seem to be in the same position as that in which Smirke saw it.

5 How uninterested Smirke was in the contents of the pediments, as opposed to the architecture, can be seen from his sketchy and distorted rendering of the ‘Cecrops’.

6 In the regular Parthenon attitude for this movement; cf. North Frieze, Slabs XI, no. 43, and XVII, no. 58 (indistinguishable in attitude from the pedimental Athena, so far as she is preserved); West Frieze, Slab XIV, no. 27.
