ILLUSTRATED and CONFIRMED. 49 



Dr Dallaway crofTed the Simois three tunes: i. On his way 

 from Udjek-fepe, or the monument of jEsyetes; and' after he 

 had refled during a tempefluous night at the Ch'iftlik, built by 

 the famous Hassan Paflia, formerly mentioned, on the 5th of 

 November he crofFed both the Scamander and the Simois, the 

 latter of which the rains had increafed to a confiderable river ; 

 the bed being from forty to fifty yards wide ; though it is fre- 

 quently almoil dry, efpecially in the midfl of fummer. This was 

 on his way to the village of Thimbrek-keuy, and the temple of A- 

 POLLO ThymbrJEUs ; which he pafTed and defcended to the fliore, 

 and proceeded as far as Cape Berbier j and after exploring the 

 fliores of the Hellefpont, he returned by fea to Koum-kaleh. Here 

 having landed, he again crofled the Simois over a wooden bridge, 

 near its embouchure ; (p, 338.); and advancing upwards on the 

 northern lide of that river, he repalled it within a furlong of the 

 Chiftlik of HadgiMehmet Agha, at Bbunar-bajVi. (p. 343.). 

 In viewing the fituation of the citadel, where the Simois runs 

 under the rock, he fays, " That the divifion of the rifted rock 

 " from the grovipe of forefl: mountains, does not exceed 150 

 " yards, and is fcarcely farther afunder at the top, finking as 

 " perpendicularly as an artificial channel.'' 



The Monument of Msys.tes. 



M. Chevalier, as has been faid, began his refearches in Afia 

 at Cape Baba, the ancient promontory of Ledlos. From thence 

 he proceeded to the ruins of Alexandria Troas ; his account of 

 which has been mintitely confirmed by Dr Dallaway. But 

 though the narrative of both travellers be very agreeable and 

 interefting, we did not before, nor do we novi^, think it necef- 

 fary to detail the particulars. On advancing, his notice v/as 

 particularly attraded by Udjek-tepe, a barrow of an extraordi-
