134 Sophrosyne period of with a variation amplitude of in magnitude. This provided a good match to the only previous determination in 1989. 134 Sophrosyne Sophrosyne (minor planet designation: 134 Sophrosyne) is a large main-belt asteroid that was discovered by German astronomer Robert Luther on September 27, 1873, and was named after the concept of "sophrosyne", Plato's term for 'moderation'. Classified as a C-type asteroid, it has an exceedingly dark surface and most probably a primitive carbonaceous composition. An occultation of a star by 134 Sophrosyne was observed November 24, 1980, in the United States. Timing information from this event allowed a
Ancient Greek architecture to make the swelling wider than the base; it is controlled by a slight reduction in the rate of decrease of diameter.

Helen Gardner refers to its "unsurpassable excellence", to be surveyed, studied and emulated by architects of later ages. Yet, as Gardner points out, there is hardly a straight line in the building. Banister Fletcher calculated that the "stylobate" curves upward so that its centres at either end rise about 2.6 inches above the
