Excerpt from Die Composition der Aegineten<br><br>S. 34, Anm. the author feels himself bound to place upon record here his reasons for believing that the Eastern and Western Pediments contained each thirteen figures, and not eleven only, as in the restoration at Munich. In the first place, the fragments of no less than thirty distinct statues were found; which would be to many for that hypothesis The discovery of the fragments of so many figures is a strong confirmation of the authors, as to the necessity of thirteen statues, at the least to give completion to the artistic grouping in either pediment.
