The management of the vault in the tomb of Car Syonois is strange Fig 3. Section of mouldings as they fall on the hexagonal

the top with a circle in the centre upper story of the tomb of Can Signoris. Its measures are
rudely cut, with a lamb[g] and flag a, b, 6 in; b, c, (the intermediate points inaccessible)
a b is the vaulting rib at the top: 3 in; c-d, 4: notethat the line did not bend in coming
from the ceiling: but only d e at the bottom: the additional tight from c to d: so the line d d2 must be wrong

is curious that it falls altogether outside of the
point n. of the hexagon: so that the line n n2, would
entirely miss it, c c2 is the flower moulding following
the large arch: I think the pas[r]t at c looks clumsy and
forgets too much: (I see my error now: I have drawn the
series of lines parallel with d d2, as if they were
parallel with the side of hexagon: whereas they ought to
be at the hexagon angle on the line h2i, and ought to
point to n3 as h2i points to m: which it did exactly)
with this alteration, and taking this following and
preceeding meanness, it will be right. d-e 1¼in; e-h ¼
