Another type of capital has one row of acanthus leaves with palm leaves over, and a moulded abacus square on plan, as in the Tower of the Winds, Athens (No. 43 B).
The entablature, which is usually about one-fifth of the height of the entire order, bears a general resemblance to the Ionic, having the usual triple division of architrave, frieze, and cornice, the mouldings of the latter having additional enrichments.

The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, Athens (b.c. 335-34), (Nos. 28 J, 32, 40 J, L, 43 c), is a type of structure which was erected to support a tripod as a prize for athletic exercises or musical performances in the Grecian festivals.
