Excerpt from Sardis, Vol. 2: Publication of the American Society for the Excavation of Sardis, Architecture, Part I, the Temple of ArtemisIn the Autumn of 1921 Mr. Butler completed the present study of the temple of Artemis at Sardis. He withheld the manuscript from the printer in the hope of verifying several details by further study on the site. His sudden death prevented the incorporation into the text of the results obtained by his sojourn at Sardis in the Spring of 1922. The text, therefore, stands as it was drafted by the author, who had not the opportunity of revision or correction of any matter after it had been set in type. Indulgence is craved for any misprints or other typographical errors that may have escaped the eyes of the author's colleagues, who have corrected the proof sheets.
