of white marble,1 formed of three arches below,
through one of which the road passes, and six
smaller ones above. Between the two arcades is
a Latin and Greek inscription:—

" To the Ephesian Diana, to the Emperor
Augustus, to Tiberius Cassar the son of Augustus,
and to the city of the Ephesians, Caius Sixtilius,

the son of Publius......with Ophelia Bassa,

the daughter of Aulus, his wife, and Caius Ophelius
Proculus his son, and with his other children,
erected this bridge at his expense."

On the inner faces of the two central piers are
the following monumental inscriptions :—

Arundell2 was of opinion that this- aqueduct was
in connection with that of Aiaslik ; but it is probable
that if it were traced it would be found to lead to
the tunnelled aqueduct still visible along the slopes
of Coressus, and which is represented on the Plan
by a dotted line.

1 The author has mislaid a large drawing of this aqueduct,
taken on the spot, and is obliged to give a representation of
the aqueduct published in the picturesque work of Choiseul
Gouffier.
