PANORAMIC VIEW OF ATHENS. 



speaks of the xpfrau * or artificial fountains, as well as of the <Ppea.T<x 

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

 of the neighbouring mountains. Dicsearchus indeed says, y\ <? v e noXiq 

 6vk svvSoog ; but his words may refer to the country of Attica ; and not 

 to the city, as Gataker • j - has remarked ; 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* 

 Trpa^fta hai X K«XA<ppo^ ! said some of the inhabitants of Athens to an 

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

We may here notice the wrong application made by Chandler, 

 p. 111., of a passage in Statius, (Theb. L iv.) to the Uissus of Attica; 

 anfractu riparum incurvus Ilissus. 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. Paus. and Plato in Crit. 



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

 1. i.) The modern village 'A^7reXoK^7ro, which stands nearly on the 

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

 ancient FCHriOJ. 



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
