 village of Halileli, on the oppofite fide of the rivulet. Dr Dal- 

 LAWAY has given an elegant engraving of them, and fays, that 

 he " palfed the village of Tbimbrek'kctiy, and a dilapidated mofque, 

 " with a cemetery full of parts of fluted columns and cornices, 

 " fet up as memorials, the probable fite of the temple and city

M., Chevalier agrees with all preceding travellers, in holding 

 the promontory of Sigeum to be at the modern village of Teni-

 twixt what he thinks the two promontories, and foimd it to be 

 300G fathoms, which agrees with Pliny's account, who fays it 

 is 30 ftadia. M. Chevalier thinks Strabo miftaken when 

 he reckons it at 60 ftadia.
