Circular base in the form of an inverted echinus with

rounded outer edge. Above, a hollow, cylindrical
stand with an offset at the juncture with the base; it
is noticeably tapered towards the top and is pierced
by at least two rows of narrow vertical openings, set
close together. Impressed on the stand are two hori-
zontal registers of double rows of scalene triangles,
at least two of which are eliminated by vertical
openings.

6 Concerning the discovery of the southwest corner of Building III, see Williams, 1979, figs. 4, 5.
7 A fill datable to the Early to Middle Corinthian periods was removed from the well in the Roman Forum.
Found during the 1975 excavation campaign (Williams and Fisher, p. 104), it was excavated during the 1976
campaign (Williams, 1977, p. 45, note 4); Well 1975-2 fell into disuse after the construction of the Amphora
Pit Deposit, according to Williams (Williams, 1976, pp. 104-107).
