St Marks.							[diagram]	[drawing]
In the Nave: there are three great shafts
on each side carrying stilted arches.
Of these the bases are remarkable first
for the appearance of a band or ring about
the bottom of the shaft: so completely resembling
an addition for protection that I at first
supposed it so. : it is  a - b in section:
projecting more or less: in one or two of the
shafts hardly ½  an inch. in others an inch
It iss a separate slab put under the
shaft - the section is confused both at
a and b by the mortar: It is decidedl
ungraceful.
The fillet c d seems to have
been intended for a vertical
-     but it slopes outwards more
or less: sometimes considerably.
The torus. b c. f h. are very
flattened and rude semicircular,
perhaps from wear . hi. k?
are two simple square slabs
which bear the circular upper
members; The section is of course through the side. h g. becoming long at the angle.

In the third, that next the central door, on the right hand as one enters, their angles are
occupied by heart shaped [?], the [genus?] of those of the Doges palace. as shown above at B.
- but entirely without decoration - heavy - blunt pointed - and reminding onee aa little of a shoe
												    sole.
