habitants of that district of Troas who were styled Iliensis . Ife 
has been shown, that Claudius, after the example of Alexander,* 
had perpetually exempted them from the payment of any tri¬ 
bute. In their district stood the Pagus Ilicnsium, with the 
(callicolone) beautiful hill; and nearly thirty stadiaf farther 
toward the west, reversing the order of the bearing given by 
Strabo,^ the Iliensium Civitas . If, therefore, this hill, so pre¬ 
eminently entitled to the appellation of Callicolone , from the 
regularity of its form, and the groves by which it seems for 
ages to have been adorned, be further considered, on account 
of its antiquities, an indication of the former vicinity of the 
Jiiensian village , it should follow, that observing a westward 
course, the distance of three miles and three quarters, or near¬ 
ly so, would terminate in the site of the lliensian city ; and 
any discovery ascertaining either of these places would infalli¬ 
bly identify the position of the other. This line of direction 
we observed in our route, advancing by a cross road into the 
plain. 
There were other inscriptions, commemorating the good of¬ 
fices of Roman emperors; but these were so much mutilated, 
that no decisive information could be obtained from them. Up¬ 
on one we read :

Another, inscribed upon the cover of a large marble sarco¬

for whom both the xtoa and the 2 opox had been construct¬ 
ed. 
As we journeyed from this place, we found, in a corn field 
below the hill, a large block of inscribed marble; but owing to
