^{page 338 note 1} Seven Attic feet are equal to 2·072 m. The measurements taken on the cast vary between 2·064 and 2·070, owing to the slight inequalities of the surface of the relief, and to the outline of the middle finger of the right hand being defaced. Besides, the nature of the plaster, and the fracture near the right end may cause a trifling deviation. On the original itself Conze had measured 2·07, myself 2·06.—It is strange that Leonardo da Vinci (i. p. 183, No. 343, ed. Richter) makes the foot the seventh part of the length of the body. In the canonical statue of Polykleitos, the Doryphoros, the foot (0·33 m.) is nearly exactly the sixth part of the total length of 2 meters; see Benndorf, in the Zeitschrift für die oesterreich.

^{page 340 note 1} I feel bound to correct a false statement given in my Ancient Marbles, p. 560 (towards the end of the article, No. 83). The length, obtained by measuring ‘from palm to palm,’ that is to say between the roots of the fingers, is not 1·77 m. (equal to six Attic feet or an Attic fathom) but 1·89 m. This number stands in no rational relation to the Attic measure.

^{page 341 note 1} Hultsch, , Metrologie, 2 ed., p. 551, 568Google Scholar, supposes such a foot to be the model of the ποὺ ς Φιλεταίρειος of the Pergamene empire. Moreover he takes as ascertained a smaller Samian foot of 0·3145 m., equal to of the ell, a supposition eagerly opposed by Dörpfeld, in the Archaeol. Zeitung, 1881, p. 263Google Scholar. To such a foot would answer the length of the fore-arm in our relief (DM).

^{page 344 note 1} 3, 1, 2 and 3. I give the text as it is established by Lorentzen and by Val. Rose on the authority of the best manuscripts, adding the numbers of the following explanations: corpus enim hominis ita natura conposuit, uti (7) os capitis a mento ad frontem summam et radices imas capilli esset decimae partis, item (3) manus palma ab articulo ad extremum medium digitum tantundem, (6) caput a mento ad summum verticem octavae, (5) cum cervicibus imisabsummo pectore ad imas radices capillorum sextae, (4) a medio pectore [these three words are wanting in the manuscripts; the supplement is due to Galiani] ad summum verticem quartae. (8) ipsius autem oris altitudinis tertia est pars ab imo mento ad imas nares, nasum ab imis naribus ad finem medium superciliorum tantundem; ab ea fine ad imas radices capilli frons efficitur item tertiae partis, pes vero altitudinis corporis sextae, (2) cubitus quartae, pectus item quartae…(1) si a pedibus imis ad summum caput mensum erit eaque mensura relata fuerit ad manus pansas, invenietur eadem latitudo uti altitudo. In the old editions the numbers 5 and 4 run thus: tantundem ab cervicibus imis, ab summo pectore ad imas radices capillorum sextae, ad summum verticem quartae. The tantundem ab is an unhappy attempt to restore a misinterpreted passage, and the last period contains a gross error if the parting point of the measurement here again is the summum pectus. It is interesting to see how Leonardo da Vinci in a translation of the whole passage, the corruptness of which he duly recognised, has tried to guess the right sense: ‘e dalla forciella alla sommità del petto si é ⅙ parte, e dalla forcella del petto insino alla sommità del capo ¼ parte,’ see Literary Works of Leon. da Vinci, ed. by Dr.Richter, J. P., i. p. 181Google Scholar, No. 340. In the same work, under No. 343, is given an interpretation and correction rather than a translation of the whole chapter; instead of the corrupt passage Leonardo says: ‘dal di sopra del petto alla sommità del capo fia il sexto dell' omo; dal di sopra del petto al nascimento de' capegli fia la settima parte di tutto l' omo; dalle tette al di sopra del capo fia la quarta parte dell' omo.’ In a third article, No. 334, the words ab summo—sextae are recognised as giving the just measure.

^{page 345 note 1} See Leonardo's translation, No. 340, ‘larghezza di spalle.’ The same expression returns in No. 333, 341, 343. As to the cubit being contained four times in the extension of the arms, see No. 347.

^{page 345 note 4} Froriep, Anatomie für Künstler, Fig. vii. In a man of normal proportions, 1·75 m. high, the sternum is 0·22 m. long and extends from 1·42 downwards to 1·20; the middle of it, in consequence, falls on 1·31 from the bottom and is 0·44 m. distant from the crown. This point, recommended by Galiani, a physician, agrees better with Vitruvius' rule than the supplements proposed by Leonardo da Vinci: dalla forcella del petto (No. 340), or dalle tette (No. 343), the latter of which has been approved by many, for instance by Gibson, John, the sculptor, in his pamphlet on The proportions of the human figure, 2 ed., London, 1857Google Scholar. According to Froriep's diagram the nipples fall on 1·28 from below.

^{page 345 note 1} The point Y should really be placed to mark the pit of the nape, higher than it actually is in the woodcut, i.e. a little below X, and nearly at the point where the lines KL and TZ cross.

Richter) begins with the words: ‘Dalla sommità del capo al di sotto delmento ⅛, dal nascimento de' capelli al mento è dello spatio ch' è da esso nascimento a terra.’ The first item agrees with. Vitruvius (rule 6), the second will do so if instead of the second nascimento we read mento, in conformity with Leonardo's translation of Vitruvius (No. 340), as well as with his own views (No. 343).
