S8 ARGOS TO NATJPLIA.

this little plain is a village called Tsipiana or Tepyana. From this
village proceed over the great chain of Mount Artemisius, ascending
to a great height by a very steep path, and reaching a cold region
where gooseberries may be observed growing wild. Hence there is a
very difficult descent from the mountain, With a fine view of the
gulph of Argos. Toward the foot of the mountain cross a small
river, and enter the plain of Argos. Artemisium is now called Mallevo.

This route does not require more than three hours. The river is
probably the torrent Charadrus, which flows in a deep bed near the
town of Argos, and joins the Inachus in the plain. The ruins of the
town or castle of CEnoe might probably be discovered in this route.

ARGOS TO NAUPLIA.

u Nauplia is 50 stadia from Temenium, and Temenium is 26 stadia
from Argos." Strabo.

This route lies on the shore, running first in a direct line from
Argos to Temenium, which was probably situated on one of those
little indentations of the coast to which roads even yet remain from
that city. They may be observed in the general view from the
acropolis Larissa. This was not a nearer route than that by Tiryns,
it being on account of the curved form of the shore, nearly seven
English miles and an half from Argos to Nauplia.
