Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Modillonnoun
Modillons, in architecture, are little brackets which are often set under the corinthian and composite orders, and serve to support the projecture of the larmier or drip: this part must be distinguished from the great model, which is the diameter of the pillar; for, as the proportion of an edifice in general depends on the diameter of the pillar, so the size and number of the modillons, as also the interval between them, ought to have due relation to the whole fabrick. John Harris
Etymology: French; modiolus, Lat.
The modillons or dentelli make a noble show by their graceful projections. Spectator, №. 415.
