[M.203L] [M.203] St Marks. Southern Portico. 203 between the shafts are given at p 1 w {and 2 w} St M. At 1 w is the shaft d; at 2 w the shaft c, with d seen in outline on its left. The fillets on d are cut an inch deep down from its simple bell: whose contour is given more truly at fig 2. The rise of the zigzag on the angle is true: (perhaps necessary if it has to be kept on same level): The pure section of the whole at p 6 at the other end of the book St M. Now the joint at p 6 marks the separation between the real capitals and the plinth, a b; which is a great flat table laid on the top of the whole five: A crack is seen through the middle of it at 2 w for a sufficient reason.
