Absorption line velocity profiles (vps) contain important information on the anisotropy and mass distribution of elliptical galaxies (e.g., Gerhard 1993, Merritt 1993). Here we briefly present results of an extensive analysis of the E0 galaxy NGC 6703 (Gerhard et al. 1997). This work is part of an observational and theoretical program aimed at understanding the orbit structure and dark matter content of ellipticals at intermediate radii (a preliminary account is given in Saglia et al. 1997).
