This article appears in Volume V27, Page 116 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRACHELIUM (Gr. TpaXnXos, neck) , the
term
  in architecture given to the neck of the
capital
  of the Doric and Ionic orders. In the Greek Doric
capital
  it is the space between the annulets of the echinus and the grooves which marked the junction of the
shaft
  and capital; in some early examples, as in the basilica and temple of Ceres at Paestum and the temple at Metapontum, it forms a sunk concave moulding, which by the French. is called the gorge. In the Roman Doric and the Iodic orders the
term
  is given by
modern
  writers to the
interval
  between the lowest moulding of the capital and the top of the
astragal
  and fillet, which were termed the "
hypotrachelium
  " (q.v.).
