20 CORINTH TO CLEON^i.
where on the top of the hill are two tumuli on the right, and a stone
quarry on the left. Another steep descent succeeds, till at 45 minutes
the road crosses a bridge over a great ravine and torrent. At 50 the
village of Rachani is seen right.
After another ascent and descent, cross a river running to the
plain of Corinth. At one hour recross the river near the mill of Bu-
jukli, which is on the right at the foot of a mountain. Hence con-
tinuing near the river, with high hills on the left, pass a fountain right,
and at one hour 25 minutes cross again the same river, leaving a mill
on the left. Ascending through cultivated grounds by the bed of the
torrent, arrive at the village of Omar Tschaousch in one hour and
55 minutes. This village is the most western point of the road from
Corinth to Cleonae, and is about 10 degrees to the westward of a right
line drawn from the former to the latter place. There are some cy-
presses at this village, and on the left is a cultivated valley. The
road lies often in the bed of the torrent. At the distance of two
hours from Corinth pass a mill, and continue in the plain in which
are several Villages, till at two hours 25 minutes, the road crosses a
torrent, and in a few minutes after, arrives at the hill on which are the
ruins of the city of Cleonae. The direct road to Argos turns off be-
fore this place to the left, in the plain, at two hours and 12 minutes,
leaving the hill of Cleonae to the right, and a Kalybea or temporary
village to the left. There are three other villages in the plain, on the
left at a short distance, where a person visiting the ruins of Cleonae
might procure what was necessary. One distant about two miles is
called Agios Basili. There are at Cleonae considerable ruins, but it
