PLAIN OF PHAHSALIA. 119
plements of husbandry. This place is five hours and a quarter
from Ampelakia. In the afternoon Ave proceeded two hours and
thirty-eight minutes further to the Turkish village of Enebelere,
where we passed the night.
TO PHAHSALIA.
The next morning, the 7th, we continued our journey, crossed a
bridge over a small stream, and went by the foot of an insulated
hill with a small marsh, and a few mulberry trees near its base.
These were the first trees we had seen for several miles; the greater
part of the plain on this side of Larissa offers no objects either pic-
turesque or interesting. It is generally rich in corn. The uncul-
tivated parts are covered with thistles.
We passed by a fountain, and observed to our right a village
named Sarliki. An hour and forty minutes beyond which we
passed near a large Turkish burying-ground, and a village called
Karademelki. About an hour from this place we had the first view
of Pharsalia and its memorable plain, which is in a manner se-
parated from the great plain of Larissa by some low ridges and un-
dulating hills. We passed by some villages and fountains, and
crossed a large bridge of several arches over a river which is pro-
bably the Onchestos. Forty minutes further we crossed a bridge
over another river of smaller size, probably the Enipeus or Api-
danos, which unite their streams before they enter the Peneios. *
