FROM THE CAPITAL OF THE CRIMEA, 
chap, remarkable, that it cannot fail to attract notice- 
V. 
- T - Immediately after passing the Promontory of 
Eupatorium, towards the east, begins the Ctenus, 
or Harbour of lnherman : the entrance to this 
constitutes The Roads of Atkiar, exactly corre- 
sponding with the account given by Strabo. 
The old walls, both of the town of Chersonesvs 
and of its buildings, are extremely thick, being, 
in fact, all double ; that is to say, having a 
shell on each side constructed with immense 
masses of stone, and the interval between the 
two filled with cement, containing fragments 
of pottery and other coarse materials. Earthen- 
ware seemed to have been in great abundance ; 
not only as it was employed among the ma- 
terials for building, but because the ground 
was covered with fragments of broken ves. 
sels. Two strong towers, one being conti- 
guous to the bay, were entire in 1794. Pallas 
had seen them Attached to one of these 
was a slab of white marble, with the fol- 
lowing inscription: this we copied from the 
original, now in the possession of the Profes- 
sor’s friend, Hablitz.
