VALE OF TEMPE. 377 
Turkish Greece by the name of Salampria*. That chap. 
the Peneus rolled through the middle of it, I ^ 
have repeatedly said, and am confirmed in the 
assertion by PUmj, Strabo, and Ovid; but the 
two first-mentioned authors have thrown such 
lights on one of the methods of investigation I 
mentioned, namely, its bearing to particular 
objects, that / inarvel how it could have been mis- 
taken : it appeared to them that Tempe was 
directly between Ossa and Olympus. The fact 
is, THE VALE IS ACTUALLY FORMED BY SOME 
OF THE HEIGHTS OF OlYMPUS TO THE WEST, 
AND OsSA TO THE EAST. HoW then Pococke Pococke 
and Busching could possibly have departed ^Busching, 
from these mountains, to look for it elsewhere, 
cannot easily be explained." And that they did 
so, as it has been observed by this writer, is 
not less remarkable than that one of them, 
Pococke, should have selected for his Tempe, 
first, a plain, accordmg to his own description *, 
(5j See the preceding description of Larissa. It is pronounced 
Salambr'ia ; but in all probability it is written 'SaXafifiX^lm -, the Greehi 
sounding their |U«r like our B. In a modern Greek Play, called PamJa, 
founded upon Richardson's Novel, Lord Bondjield's name is printed 
MnON^IA.
