1. The following are the rules for door-ways of temples, and for their dressings (antepagmenta). First the species is to be considered: this is Doric, Ionic, or Attic. The Doric is constructed with these proportions. The top of the cornice, which is above the upper dressing, is to be level with the top of the capitals in the pronaos. The aperture of the door is determined as follows. The height from the pavement to the lacunaria is to be divided into three parts and a half, of which two constitute the height of the doors. The height thus obtained is to be divided into twelve parts, of which five and a half are given to the width of the bottom part of the door. This is diminished towards the top, equal to one third of the dressing, if the height be not more than •sixteen feet. •From sixteen feet to twenty-five the upper part of the opening is contracted one fourth part of the dressing. •From twenty-five to thirty feet the upper part is contracted one-eighth of the dressing. Those that are higher should have their sides vertical.
1. Ostiorum autem et eorum antepagmentorum in aedibus hae sunt rationes uti primum constituantur quo genere sint futura. genera sunt enim thyromaton haec, doricum, ionicum, atticurges. Dorici symmetriae conspiciuntur his rationibus uti corona summa, quae supra antepagmentum superius inponitur, aeque librata sit capitulis summis columnarum quae in pronao fuerint. lumen autem thyretri constituatur sic uti quae altitudo aedis a pavimento ad lacunaria fuerit, dividatur in partes tres semis et ex eis duae partes lumini valvarum altitudine constituantur. haec autem dividatur in partes 12 et ex eis quinque et dimidia latitudo luminis fiat in imo. et in summo contrahatur si erit lumen ab imo ad sedecim pedes, antepagmenti III parte, si XVI pedum ad XXV, superior pars luminis contrahatur antepagmenti parte IIII, si ab pedibus XXV ad XXX, summa pars contrahatur antepagmenti parte VII. reliqua quo altiora erunt, ad perpendiculum videntur oportere conlocari.
