_552 PANORAMIC VIEW OF ATHENS. 



spr'aks of the y.^vtvat * or artificial fountains, as well as of the cp^txTx 

 of Athens ; and the former must have been supplied from the waters 

 of the neighbouring mountains. Dicsearchus indeed says, ij ^b ttoXh; 

 ovx. IvuSi^og ; but his words may refer to the country of Attica ; and not 

 to the city, as Gatakerj- has i-emarked ; and applied in that sense, 

 his observation is true; for Attica has few streams of water. 



It is singular that the word Callirhoe should still be retained ; t/ 

 Trpccyfj-x ivxt J KaAXippo'ij ! said some of the inhabitants of Athens to an 

 English traveller, when a greater quantity of water than usual was 

 running at the spot, after a heavy rain. 



We may here notice the wrong application made by Chandler, 

 p. 111., of a passage in Statins, (Theb. 1. iv.) to the Ilissus of Attica; 

 anfractu liparum incurvus Ilisms. The poet is speaking of a river in 

 the Peloponnesus. See Hemsterh. ad Plutum, p. 182.] Ed. 



D. 2. The ruins of the temple of Jupiter Olympius. From Pausa- 

 nias's description, 1. i., I should infer that there was a large precinct 

 in this quarter occupied by several other buildings. 



E. 6. The arch of Hadrian connecting New with Old Athens. 



E. 7. Course of the Eridanus, which falls into the Ilissus a little 

 below. Pans, and Plato in Crit. 



F. 8. The situations of the gardens, and temple of Venus. (Pans. 

 1. i.) The modern village ' Af^7Ti\oy.yi7ro, which stands nearly on the 

 site of the gardens, retains in its present name a memorial of the 

 ancient KHnOJ. 



G. 5. The Lycseum. It was formerly laid out in groves and 

 gardens, (Ovid. Meta. xi. 710.) and was also used as a place for

\ I have written Ivai (used by the modern Greek for i<rTi), instead of eIv«i ; evai occurs in 

 Bessarion's letter, for the singular number, and livai for the plural ; and in the catalogue of 

 the Madrid MSS. in Cod. Ivi. p. 1 S ). hai is written by Lascaris's own hand, eWj ^ euspysala. 

 But in the Prolegomena of Longinus to the Enchirid. of Hephaestio, c. 2., we find slvai, 

 which the scribe has inadvertently placed in the text for eo-ti. — See Gaisford's Hephses. 143,
