Notes
The 'as executed' design varies from [SM D1/2/2] and [SM D1/2/4] by having acanthus ornament over the base of the tassae. Additionally, the tassae support a double oil lamp with a central reservoir. In fact, there are variations between the 'executed design' and a photograph published in Stroud (fig.65b) and in National Monuments Record photographs (1951). For instance, the cap consists of a small segmental pediment on each face while the moulding beneath consists of guttae instead of the plain moulding shown in the drawings. The photographs do not show the oil lamp.
See [SM D1/4/45], [SM D1/4/42], [SM D1/4/44] and [SM D1/4/43] for full size details of the termini.
