ACROPOLIS OF ARGOS. 221
The temple of Apollo Deiradiotes was in the way up to the La-
rissa, and situated in a spot called Deiras, from its position' on a
ridge of rock, which answers to the situation of the monastery.
Fourmont* describes a subterraneous inlet, which he says pene-
trates 3000 paces in the Larissa rock, being cut through a dark co-
loured stone full of petrified shells: he says that the passage is per-
fectly straight, but has recesses on each side, not opposite to each
other. Plutarch3 informs us, that Cleomenes broke open the sub-
terraneous passages under Aspis, and thus entered the city.
The following very ancient inscription is seen in the Larissa. It ap-
pears to consist of proper names. It is considerably corroded, but the
following names may be deciphered: Sthenelas—Ipomedon—Arche-
niicha—Adrastos—Borthanoras—Kretos — Omintonos—Destoma-
chos. There seem to be seven other names, which are unintelligible.
