I PROCEEDED on the 12th, and was sixteen minutes in descend-

We crossed a copious stream, called Sosteno, which rises near the
deserted village of Nutlimo, about three hours from Kalpaki; and
probably the same which is noticed by Pausanias ' at the foot of
Mount Trachu. Close on the right rose a steep hill, with a village,
called Mures, at its foot. The ancient paved way is seen winding
along the base of the mountain.
