ced them too far up. They are at lead half a mile from the 

 X'illage of Htilikii, on the oppofite iide of the rivulet. Dr Dal- 

 L AAV AY has given an elegant engraving of them, and fays, that 

 he " paffed the village of Tbimbrek^keuy, 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 



facred to Apollo Thymbrseus." (p. 331.).

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

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

 and Mr Wood are miftaken in placing the Rhoetean promontory

 miles from the Cape of Teni-cheyr or Sigean promontory. 

 (Ch. XIII.). He was at the pains to meafure the diftance be-
