Whoever advances a theory in opposition to the common opinion cannot expect to meet at once with consent. Therefore I value it highly that the review of my paper Die Artemistempel von Ephesos (JHS. 1932, 130) inclines to accept my chronology of the Ephesian archaic finds, this chronology having been the main object of the paper. I would welcome the statement that ‘few would nowadays be unwilling to follow Rumpf in bringing the ivory figurines down into the sixth century’ (I myself indicated this date in AM. 1925, 30, note 4); but this assertion seems rather optimistic, considering the widespread approval extended to V. Müller's Frühe Plastik.
