ASIA MINOR. 



Chali-Leui. * The sepulchral stones erected over the Mussulman 

 graves were fragments of columns, capitals, and frizes of temples. 

 The ground they occupied was about 260 paces in diameter ; but we 

 could not trace the plan or foundations of any Greek or Roman 

 buildings. The columns were of white marble fluted, about two 

 feet six inches in diameter ; some capitals were of the Ionic, and 

 some of the Corinthian order ; the triglyphs shewed that there had 

 been buildings in the Doric style ; one mutilated and defaced bas- 

 relief represents a female figure in a conch-shaped chariot drawn by 

 tritons ; on another fragment is a winged victory in a car ; on part of 

 an entablature is a female figure with wings supporting festoons or 

 flowers. There were other remains of sculpture, but so much defaced 

 as to make it very difiicult to discover the subject represented. They 

 have all undoubtedly belonged to the towns of New Ilium, as may 

 be collected from the following inscriptions : —

About a mile and a half south-west of these ruins of Chali-Leui is 

 the village of Chiblak. In the court-yard of the mosque and in the 



* " The numerous architectural fragments observed near Halil Eli and Tchiblak, have 

 been brouglit tiiere to mark the graves in a Turkish burial-ground, for I could discover 

 no foundations of buildings at either spot." Mr. Hawkins.
