THE SITE OP CNIDUS. 369

side of the same platform are the ruins of one or
more buildings, which I partially explored by ex-
cavation. My reasons for believing that a Gym-
nasium stood here will be given in a subsequent
chapter.

Beyond these ruins, on tbe north, is a street,
which, commencing at right angles to the street
already noticed, appears to have traversed the
entire length of Cnidus, about midway between the
harbour and the fortified heights above, issuing out
at a gate in the eastern wall. On the side of this
street, opposite to the supposed Gymnasium, are the
ruins of a large vaulted building, probably of the
Byzantine period; and, further to the east, on the
same side of the street, the ruins of an extensive
building,0 where the members of the Dilettanti
mission discovered the remains of a small Ionic
portico. A restoration of this portico is given in
Plates XII.—XXI. of their work. The authors
of the Dilettanti volume suppose that the ruins
on this site are those of Baths; but the excava-
tions which we made here did not confirm this
conjecture.

Proceeding eastward from this point, the main
street, as has been already noticed, traverses the
length of the city, leaving on the right the site of
a small temple, dedicated to Apollo and the Muses,
the discovery of which took place in the course of
the expedition.

A little further on, extensive Byzantine ruins are

c Marked "Roman Building" in the Plan of Cnidus.
