small dnnensions. Parnassus, with its shining v,, ■^, / 
snowy summit, appears opposite the door of 
this chapel ; and between both, in the same 
line, the lofty rock whereon the Acropolis of 
Chcsronea was situate; as appears by the 
remains of its walls. 
The next thing that attracted our notice, was Aqueduct, 
a beautiful antient fountain, with five mouths, 
supplied, by means of a small aqueduct, from the 
neighbouring rock, in which the Coilon of the 
Theatre of Chceronea was excavated. In its pre- 
sent state, this fountain consists entirely of 
fragments of the ruined buildings of the city. 
Here we saw some large pedestals, granite 
shafts, small Doric capitals, — and a mass of 
exceedingly hard blue marble, exhibiting, in 
beautiful sculpture, the leaves and other orna- 
ments of the cornice of a temple. There was a 
cistern at the fountain, with an inscription in 
honour of Demetrius Autobulus, a Px-ato- 
Nic Philosopher, by Flavius Autobulus, 
HIS MATERNAL GrANDSON.
