ISTHMUS OF CORINTH. 
as possible, the site of these Ruins, with re- 
ference to other objects, that future travellers 
(in direct contradiction to the statement made 
by Chandler) may be guided to the spot, and 
become satisfied of their existence. The best 
method of finding their precise situation is to 
attend to the course of the ivall which traverses 
the Isthmus ; for this, if it be traced from the 
Corinthian Gulph, will be found to make a sudden 
turn before it reaches the shore of the Sinus 
Saronicus, and to bear away towards Mount Oneius, 
embracing the whole of the Port of Schcenus, and 
closing it in upon the Corinthian side. The ruins 
of the Temple, Stadium, Theatre, together with 
wells, and other indications of the Isthmian Town, 
surround this port ; and they are, for the most 
part, situate upon its sides, sloping towards 
the sea. The remains of the Temple of Neptune Temple of 
are to the west of the Isthmian Wall ; upon an Ne P tm *- 
area which is two hundred and seventy-six 
paces in length, and sixty-four in breadth. 
A Greek Chapel, also in a ruined state, now 
stands upon the area of the temple; and this 
seems to have been the identical building men- 
tioned by Wheler, near to which he found the 
Inscription published by him, relative to many 
edifices, not mentioned by Pausanias, that 
were repaired by Publius Lidnitts Priscus
