Falkener, Edward: Ephesus and the temple of Diana (London, 1862)

204 TEMPLE OF DIANA.

from the chart of the Gulf of Scala Nuova and
Ephesus, published by the Hydrographic Office,
which I should presume to be correct, not only as
concerns the coast, but also as regards the river
Caystrus : and, secondly, I would suppose that the
ancient course of the river was not very far different
from the present one.

Looking, then, at this map, I would place the
Temple at the confluence of the Caystrus with the
stream flowing from the City Port, and should
suppose that the Sacred Port, or Panormus, occu-
pied the space within the bend of the river in this
locality.

This situation will accord with what we know of
Port Panormus, which was at some distance from
the sea, and at some distance from the city, (see
page 58,) and it accords with the position of the
Temple at the head of the port. It agrees with
the situation between two rivers coming from
different parts : and if we regard the two streamlets
from the City Port and the " Marsh on the other
side of the city," as the rivers Selinus, the position
of the Temple nearer one stream than the other,
will clear up that which otherwise would appear a
difficulty, viz., that though Pliny in the preceding
quotations speaks of tiro rivers Selinus, Xenophon
and Strabo only mention one, and say that that one
was well stocked with fish. Thus the expression

of Strabo,—" the river Selinus.....Avhich

flows near the Temple of Diana at Ephesus;" and
