Number of pillars 44, the space occupied by the tem- 

 ple interrupting the ranges. It is well worthy no- 

 tice, that one of the beams of stone, that, crossing 

 this cave, rests on the heads ot" the pillars, is much 

 thicker than the rest ; which, it may be supposed, 

 arose from the workmen perceiving some tlaw in 

 such an immense space of ceiling supporting Such a 

 mass of mountain above. 



There are thirty steps on tlie southern entrance, 

 but as they do not reach a third of the way to the 

 water, it may • reasonably be supposed that the stu- 

 pendous fall from the top of the mountain to the pre- 

 sent bottom, 120 feet, must have greatl}^ deepened 

 the reservoir since its first construction. This fall 

 forms a nullah that runs by the village oil^llora.
