The view from Palaio-Achaia extends as far as the islands of
Cephallenia, Ithaca, and the Echinades, the coast of Acarnania,
JEtoYra., Locris Ozolsea, and the entrance of the Corinthian gulf.
TO MAURO BOUNA.
On the 19th, we reassumed our journey toward Elis; and, pro-
ceeding through a plain near the sea, in fifty minutes, came to some
ancient vestiges, and a low tumulus of earth.
On the left we observed a marsh, and the village of Domasto, at
the distance of about three miles.
Having gone forty minutes from the tumulus, we passed over some
ancient traces and large blocks of stone. Similar remains are ob-
served a quarter of an hour further; a short way beyond which are
some straw huts and a well. Half an hour more brought us to a vil-
lage called Karamorta, or Karabosta, on the site of an ancient town,
probably Dyme. But the distance of forty stadia, given by Pausa-
nias from the mouth of the Peiros to that city, does not correspond
with two hours and three quarters, which we consumed in proceed-
ing from the Peiros to Karamorta.
