PART OF THE GREAT COLONNADE: PHILE Note the elaboration of the capitals of these pillars, so different from the severe simplicity of those at Karnak and Luxor. On the wall behind appear reliefs which at first sight seem characteristically Egyptian, yet they contain frequent references toRoman emperors, toAugustus and to Tiberius, in whose reign Christ was crucified. In Egyptian, Phila was known as Pilak-the angle island.
