U NE1VLEA.

The fountain is called Adrastea. Pausanias.

It is probable that the water is now lost in a ditch which is near
, the columns. The fountain now seen is without water.

Above Nemaea is Mount Apesas. Pausanias.

The only mountain at all observable from the valley of Nemaea is
that of which thp sunjmit. is a flat or table land. It is therefore pro-
bably Mount Apesas. A peasant called it Strongylo, but no de-
pendance can be placed on such authority. It bears N. 37 E. from
the temple of Jupiter. The view of the ruins given in this work is
taken from the side opposite to that already published by the
Society of Dilettanti, in the " Ionian Antiquities."

FROM NEMAEA TOWARD SICYON.

The road pursues the left bank of the brook Nemaea through the
plain. Pass two ruined churches on the left bank. In 15 minutes
cross a bridge over a stream falling into the Nemaea from the left. Here
the river runs in a deep ravine. The table mountain is on the right.
At 20 minutes pass a ruin on the right, and across the river see a
ruined church. At 27, cross another torrent, whence till 30 the road
lies through cultivated land. At 30, cross a bridge over another tor-
rent. Hence descend with a high hill on the left, crossing the river?
