from the Doric in having the edges of the 
canelure flat instead of sharp. Higher upon 
the hill we found the remains of another temple : 
the area of this measured one hundred and forty 
yards long, and forty-four wide. Here the 
workmen had taken up about a hundred blocks 
of stone and marble ; every one of which 
measured five feet eleven inches in length, and 
eiofhteen inches in thickness. We afterwards 
found one of the angular corners of the founda- 
tion of this temple; a bath, whose roof was yet 
entire; and another fragment of the Doric 
entablature before mentioned. The temples o( ^f^;;^f^f 
Jupiter being all of the Doric order, it is very ^«i"'^'^- 
probable, whatever may be the antiquity of 
these works, that here was the situation of the 
Temple and Altars of Idcean Jove, mentioned by

situation, with respect to Gargarus, agrees with
