But Temple Site Yields Puzzling Geometrical Design

Athens, Apr. 26.

The marble statue of a "boy on a dolphin" believed to have represented the ancient Greek god Palaemon and his "mystic" temple, has so far eluded the quest of 60-year-old Professor Oscar |Broneer, of Chicago University.

Professor Broneer who set out (Pausanias,

Hopes Justified

"When I found these lamps, L knew that something of interest was at hand," Professor Broneer told me.

His hopes were justified when. on digging deeper, he found not the templo of "the boy on the dolphin's back,” but the relles of a mystery probably as great as the ones observed in the crypt of Palaemon's temple, "

At a depth of 8 fost below ground level, Professor Broncer and his team of American archacologists, uncovered & pedi- ment stone in slabs shaped like a triangle, which is 05 feet high and 2 feet 6 inches wide,

One half of the triangle has been destroyed by subsequent building but the other half is well preserved. In the centre of the triangle. there is a deep round pit 99 inches deep and starting in a semi-circle around it are eight deep lines scored in the stone slabs.

A Suggestion

The lines are parallel and their length ranges from about 0 feet to 27 feet.

At each end of the lines 進 amall bronzo hook is embedded in the stone slabs.

Asked what all this meant, Professor Broneer replied: "That is

Is what everyone has been asking me and what I have constantly been asking myself since the triangle Wee uncovered last autumn.

One suggestion is that the de- [sign was the architectural plan for building the actual peddi- ment of a temple.

"But why should the plan of' a pediment have to be mede os large as this?" asks ProfeMON Broneer who fatly rejects this solution.

The Professor himself, who has just resumed digging in the that area of ethmia, believes

the only way of solving the rkidle is to continue diggina round and under the stone daba bearing the design.
