TO THE STRAITS OF THERMOPYL^. 291 
as in the Temples of jEscuhpius ; and where the chap. 
God communicated to the patients, in a dream, ,- - 
the remedies proper for their respective mala- 
dies*. Dadi is now a very considerable town, 
for this part of Greece, It is built, like Delphi, 
in the form of a theatre ; upon a series of 
terraces rising one above the other, facing the 
plain traversed by the Cephissus, towards the 
north, or north-east. It contains seven hundred 
houses, and some good shops ; but the people 
are not so industrious, nor are their houses so 
cleanly, as those of Attica. We did not 
remain with them more than an hour ; but 
continued our journey towards Bodonitza, 
situate in the passage ofMouxTCETA, above 
the descent to the Straits of ThermopijJce. Upon 
leaving the town, appear the ruins we have 
mentioned, upon an eminence towards the left. 
We now rode along an antient military waij, via miu- 
and by an aqueduct and an antient fountain, 
as we descended by a gradual declivity from 
Dadi into the Plain of Elatea. Upon our right 
hand, near to the road, there was a Tumulus of 
earth. Entering the plain, we passed the 
Cephissus, by a bridge of five arches, hand- cephhius.
