Capital <strong>of</strong> Ionic column discovered by Inwood built<strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> wall <strong>of</strong> a small Greek chapel called Agia Mar<strong>in</strong>aon <strong>the</strong> left bank <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ilissos at A<strong>the</strong>ns.
