founded with Salamine. At seven o'clock we crossed 
a little river, and an hour afterwards another. At nine 
o'clock we stopped upon the bank of the river St. He- 
lena. At the mouth of this river there is a small port 
and a large harbour, which is called St. Helen, on ac- 
count of the princess of that name, the mother of the 
emperor Constantine, who disembarked there upon her 
arrival from the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. 
At ten in the morning we set out, and followed the 
sea coast. At two in the afternoon we passed the ruins 
of Amathante; a quarter of an hour afterwards, we 
crossed the river of that name; and at a quarter past 
three we arrived at Limasol.

Aphroditis, or sacred garden of Venus. — Ktima. — Ancient Paphos. — Modern 
Paphos or Baffa. 
On Wednesday the 23d of April, at seven in the 
morning, I quitted Limasol to go to Paphos; we first 
took the direction of W. S. W. and two hours after- 
wards we bent our course more west, and passed by 
Colossi. Having crossed the river, which runs to the 
south, we arrived at Episcopi, where we stopped till 
four in the afternoon; when we resumed our journey 
in the same direction; at half past four we passed St. 
Thomas, and at six we entered Lataniskio, where we 
intended to pass the night.
