temple
to
Victory
is
to the

ramp
, the
Propylaea
with its
six-column
front
is
straight
ahead
, and the
Pinakotheke
is

.
Beyond
the
gateway
to the
right
is
the
Parthenon
, the
temple
of
Athena
Parthenos
(the
Virgin)
; in the
centre
[center]
is
the
small
Erechtheum
, and
above
the
left
side
of the
gateway
is
the
house
of the
arrephoroi
, the
young
girls
