‘The height of the podium, or pedestal, with its cornice and base, from the level of the pulpitum, is one-twelfth part of the diameter of the orchestra (in a theatre). The columns on the podium, with their capitals and bases, are to be one-fourth of its diameter high. The architraves and cornices of those columns are one-fifth of their height. The upper pedestal, including the base and cornice, is half the height of the lower pedestal. The columns on this pedestal are one-fourth less in height than the lower columns.’
