STYLOB'ATA or -ATES (στυλοβάτης). A stylobate or pedestal; upon which a column, or row of columns, is raised, in order to lengthen or give an extra elevation to them. (Vitruv. iv. 3. 3. and 5. Varro, R. R. iii. 5. 11.) A separate stylobate is sometimes placed under each column, as in the annexed example (Stylobata/1.1), representing the arch of Septimius Severus; at others a long continuous one is constructed, upon which the whole range rests; as in the illustration s. PRONAOS.
