When a perpendicular surface is reached, the echinus may either ascend it or not, as in the case of the Star-fish. |
It cannot be our task to follow all the points of organogenesis of echinus in detail. |
The projection of the echinus beyond the fillet of the abacus should be equal to the size of the eye. |
Then coasting along the shore 100 stadia, we find above it, echinus. |
The capital, which should be as high as the radius of the bottom of the column, is composed of an abacus, an echinus, and annulets next to the column. |
The Ionic order differs from the Doric in having more flutes on its shaft and in the scrolls, or volutes, that droop over the front and rear portions of the echinus in the capital. |
