to the top of the mountain, where the spring 
to Spanheim : he is throwing a javelin against another, who is at the 
head of the horse with a shield : on the left of the stone is the foot of 
a man upon the body of another, who is supporting himself on his left 
knee. In the wall by the sea, washing the sides of the castle, is an 
imperfect Inscription, relating to Antoninus Pius :

" Not far from this, is the headless statue of a Roman Emperor or 
warrior. Over a gate in the castle I copied the following lines, in 
capital letters, with a stop after each word. The two first lines are 
taken from the anthem after the Nunc Dimitds, in Complin, or the 
Night Prayers of the Roman Church. The two last are taken from 
the 127th Psalm.

Ciistodi nos dormientes: 
Nisi Dominus eustodierit civitatem, 
Frustra vigilat qui custodit earn. 
" Coats of arms, of different knights of the order of St. John, may be 
seen sculptured in parts of the fortress. Coronelli says, that over a 
gate was written Propter Jidem Catholicam tenemus istum locum ; and, 
in another place, the word Sareuhoure, with the date 1130; this 
points to an aera prior to that of the Knights of Jerusalem, who did 
not possess it till the fourteenth century. Whence the bas-reliefs in the 
castle came ; to what building they belonged ; whether to the Palace 
of Mausolus, built on this spot, according to the description of Vitru- 
vius, and beautified with marble {proconnesio marmore), or to some 
building of the time of Antoninus, to whom the Inscription was 
raised, cannot be determined. I was copying another Inscription, 
beginning OENAONEPXOMENOS, of a very late date, when I was obliged 
to quit the castle. 
*' The situation of the famous Mausoleum in Halicarnassus is pointed 
out by Vitruvius. It seems to have been standing in the time of Pau- 
sanias, lib. viii. The words of Constantine Porphyrogenetes, de Them. 
c. 14, do not directly inform us whether it was extant when he wrote. 
Perhaps the Saracen, Mavias, who succeeded Othman, and who, as the 
same Constantine informs us, laid waste Halicarnassus, {de Admin, Imp.)
