In mediano contra fastigium trium triglyphorum et trium metoparum spatium distabit, quod latius medium intercolumnium accedentibus ad aedem habeat laxamentum et adversus simulacra deorum aspectus dignitatem.
Against the middle of the pediment, a space will intervene of three triglyphs and three metopes, in order that the middle intercolumniation, being broader, may give room to persons approaching the temple, and furnish a dignified appearance as one goes to meet the Image of the God.
