In any case, that citation, and all that goes with it should probably be removed. Generally, the whole article is full of very oldfashioned thinking about Pausanias. Check out Hutton's and Pretzler's books (as in the bibliography). Habicht (1985) is simply outdated now, and the article pretty much summarises what he and older writers say.

Pausanias' language is no longer seen as clumsy, a number of references have turned up in recent years (so we have to assume that he was in fact read).

I can't find any bibliographical details about this book. I take it this is the living Andrew Stewart who's written on Greek sculpture, not someone quoted by the 1911 Britannica? I can't track down date, publisher, or ISBN. The text of the book is given on the Perseus site but that doesn't have any details either; it does have an ISBN, but it's for the wrong book.

The question is whether this should get a pretty thorough re-write... a lot of this is simply judgemental in a very oldfashioned (and now thoroughly outdated) way - all taken from sources which are simply too old, it seems.
