ILLUSTRATED and CONFI RMED. 49 



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

 from Udjek-tepe^ or the monument of jEsyetes ; and* after he 

 had refted durhig a tempeftuous night at the Chiftlik^ built by 

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

 November he crolfed 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 almoll dry, efpecially in the midft of fummer. This was 

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

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

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

 fliores of the Hellefpont, he returned by fea to Kouin-kakh. Here 

 having landed, he again croffed 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 Hadgi Mehmet Agha, at Buunar-baJIdi. (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 groupe of foreft mountains, does not exceed 150 

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

 " perpendicularly as an artificial channel.'' 



The Monument o/^Esyetes. 



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

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

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

 which has been minutely confirmed by Dr Dallavvay. But 

 though the narrative of both travellers be very agreeable and 

 interefting, we did not before, nor do v/e now, think it necef- 

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

 particularly attracted by Udjek-tepc^ a barrow of an extraordi-
