    This prostyle temple, (having a porticow hose columns, usu ally four in number, extend in a linea cross the front only), which was built in lonian style, has 6 columns, two of which are on the side sand the other four are on the front. The side walls are intact as far as the the level of eaves. Half of the back pediment is in good condition. The altar and the steps, which were presumably in front of the temple in the past, are buried in the ground now. At the front, traces of a propylon, (a monumental entrance) which is thought to belong to the temple, can still be seen. The inscription copied by Sterret in 1888 reads as follows:

    "The odoros, the son of Nikomakhos, who founded the city and who also fulfilled the priesthood for the semi-god emperors twice, had this temple and its statues built with his own money and dedicated to the semi-god emperors and the city."

    The most important characteristic of this temple is the traces on the in complete eastern wall which show how masons in the ancient ages worked and which pain staking stages they went through to refine their works.
