292 GULPH OF GLAUCUS. 
CHAP, lar^^er island than any of those we had before 
VIII. _ '' 
< — ^ — ' noticed, lying farther within the bay, towards 
mentioned thc east, and entirely covered with buildings, 
^ '"'"' like the small island in the Las:o Mass^ore of 
the Milanese territory in Italy, called Isola hella. 
This island is perhaps the Macris of Pliny S 
which he describes as Ivino- towards the river 
Glaucus ; unless, from the circumstance of its 
ruined town, we may consider it as Telandria, 
which is placed by him nearly in the same 
situation. The buildings seemed to us to be 
the work of Italians ; for, upon hoisting out our 
boat, and visiting the place, we found here the 
ruins as of a Genoese town, of considerable size, 
to which the inhabitants of the town of Maori 
were probably accustomed to resort, during 
summer, to avoid the bad air. Some of the 
houses, porticoes, baths, and chapels, are yet 
almost entire ; and the whole has a picturesque 
and striking appearance. After passing this 
island, we rowed towards the town of Maori, 
Ruins of situate in the midst of the Ruins of Telmessus. 
The name of this city appears in the insoription 
which we found there, proving the accuracy of 
D'Anvillc in the position which he assigned to 
(1) PUny mentions the island Macris, whence the modern name 
niacri. It is perhaps, therefore, this island to which he alludes in the 
following passage : " Glaucumque versus ainnem Lagusa, Afacrui, 
Didynia?, Helbo, Scope, Aspis, et in qi\k oppidum interiit Telandria."
