144 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES, Sec.

On the right upon an eminence a second tumulus is distinguishable.
The state of the temple is sufficiently detailed in the account of
Nemea. The brook which rises in this valley, and which is now
nothing more than a ditch near the temple, had the same name as the
place, and divided, as Strabo says, the Corinthian and Sicyonian ter-
ritories.

There was a village called Bembina, in the vicinity of Nemea,
Strabo, Book 8. Mr. Hawkins observes, that at the distance assigned
by Strabo from Nemea is a village still called Klenae, which is the an-
cient Cleonae. This spot is mentioned in the beginning of this
work.

PLATE III.

Plate 3, is a general map of the site of Mycenae from the village of
Krabata to the upper extremity of the acropolis, and including as
much of the uneven part of the country to the south, as serves to shew
the result of a search for the Heraeum in that direction. To the north
of the treasury of Atreus several indications of the plan of houses may
be observed. These are spots so completely covered with stones that
the plough cannot pass through them, so that they retain their origi-
nal shape. They were sketched in from the opposite mountain, not
being so observable from the treasury. The engraving of this map is
a very faithful and accurate representation of the original drawing.
