it is fomewhat defaced; Two ftcps from thence there is another Table of Bas- 
reliefs, two Foot from the Ground, about a Fathom and a half high, and three 
Fathom broad i where you fee a Gigantick Horfc-man Armed Capapie^ having 
a Crown on his Head, with a Globe upon it : his Left Hand is upon the Handle 
of his Sword, and with the Right he lifts up a Woman, whom he holds by the 
Arm, near to whom there is a Man kneeling, and in fupplicant manner ftreatching 
forth his Hands. The peof)Ie of the Country fay that this Horfe-man is Rujian^ 
who would carry away his own Daughter, and that his Son, the Maids Brother, 
befeeches him to let her alone. Behind the Horfe-man there is another great Figure 
ftanding upright, but much defaced i it hath a long Cap round at the top: this 
i'' igure is all over full of Infcriptions which feem to be Grcek^^ but fo worn out that 
It cannot be Read : four fieps from thence there is another Frontifpiece, like the 
other two, at the bottom whereof there is a Bas-relief, but all defaced. Twenty 
paces from thence there is a fourth Frontifpiece more of the fame likenefs, 
with a Bas-relief underneath , reprefenting men a fighting , but it is a little 
fuinated. 
Oppoilte to this place at a few paces diftance from the Hill, there is a fquare 
A fquare Building, infafhionof a Tower, three Fathom broad, and four high, wicha Ter- 
Building. rafsover -, on the top there is a kind of Architrave of the Dorick Order, all of a 
white fhining ftone like Marble, though it be not. all the ftoncs are three Foot 
high, or thereabouts, and three Fathom long, fo that there is but one in each Lay 
of the front. The Gate of this Building looks to the Hill, and is three Fathom 
high, and one Fathom wide j it is above half Hllcd up with large ftones that have 
been put into it. In the Lintel of the Gate, there are two great round holes, 
into which went the ends of the (hutting Gates that ferved for Hinges. On each 
of the other three faces, there are fix inches, and two other fquare ones over them, 
butlefsi they are all of greyilh and black ftone, and fixty paces from thence, there 
is a round piece of Bas-relief. 
An Altar. An hundred paces more foreward, there is a kind of a round Altar cut in the 
Rock, two Fathom trom the Ground, at the bottom of which there is a Man with 
a Head- piece on his Heid j his two Hands reft upon his Sword, which fiands before 
him with the point downwards i he is accompanied with five Men on his Right 
Hand, and four on his Left, all with Head-pieces on their Heads i but of thefe 
five, there is no more to be feen but the BTiji^ all the reft from the Feet up to the 
Breaft, being, as it were, behind a ftone or Parapet, which is on each fide i none 
but he in the middle is feen all over : all of them have their Hair and Beards made 
Bas-relief, up in TrefTes ; fix paces from thence, there is a piece in Bas-relief a Fathom from the 
Ground, one Fathom and a half high, and four Fathom broad, reprefenting two 
Gigantick Horfe-men facing one another, fo that their Horfes Heads touch j one 
of the Horfc- men hath a long Cap round at the top with a brim four Fingers broad i 
in his Left Hand he holds a great Truncheon in manner of a Scepter, and with his 
Righ the pulls a Ring, which the other pulls alfo with his Right Hand, and haih a 
Globe on his Head ■■, if we may believe the people of the Country, thefe two Horfe- 
men are Rujian Sal^ and Rujiaii Colades : behind this latter there is a great Figure of 
a Man, or Woman fomewhat defaced, ftreatching forth the Hand, to hinder, as it 
were, the Globe which is on his Head from falling ; to the fide of each Horfe there 
is a Veffel for holding of water faftened with Chains, and (haped like a Pine- 
Apple, after the manner of the Levantines.^ who carry always a Mataras full of 
water, 
A Pillar upon Some paces from thence, upon arifing Rock, there is a Pillar four Foot high i 
a Rock, a little farther, likewife upon a ri.fing Rock, there are two Pedeftals by one ano- 
ther > and befides there are other Pillars fcattered up and down here and thcre. 
The people of the Country believe that all thefe things have been made by Vgius or 
Pi'm or Spi- Spirits, whom (as they fay,) Solomon who had power over them, commanded to 
Build them. The truth is, whoever were the Work-men, they have been Artifts, 
for they arc well done and of curious dcfign. The good people fay more, that in the 
Chamber of the firft Frontifpiece, there is a Treafure, but that one cannot come 
at it, becaufeone muft go over a Wheel of ftone that is in the Chamber, and that 
a Man having once attempted it, the Wheel turned and cruflied him to pieces ; 
they miy fay what they pleafe as to that, becaufe to get up to it there is need of fuch 
long Ladders, that few would be at the pains to attempt jt. They fay alfo, that on
