(508 EXCURSIONS IN CAlilA.
Odeum.—The chord of this theatre is 49^'. The
distance from the centre of the chord to the centre
of the arc, at the lowest step, is 38'.
There are in all ten rows of steps, which arc
each 1' 5" in height.
Under the steps runs a vaulted passage, passing
all round the building, as in the small theatre
at Cnidus, noticed ante, p. 308.s The vaulting
is grouted. At the centre of the curve of the
arc the passage turns at a right angle.
The temple on the shore, marked in the Chart,
had very small fluted columns and a few pieces of
cornice, and little else. Close to the causeway on
the shore, marked in the Chart, I found the in-
scription No. 190, of Lelras, containing a decree
of the senate and people of Bargylia in honour of
one Exekcstos, son of Diodotos, who is styled
ipi^waKrotf), or friend to some Hom.au emperor.
In the plain to the east of Bargylia, on the road
between Guvcrjilik and Tekram Bari, is a small
eminence on which has stood a Greek temple. On
the north side a feAV blocks remain in situ. The
columns are of grey marble, fluted. They have
been used as gravestones in a Turkish cemetery on
the spot. I was told that this place was called
Assari. I passed it in going from Tekram Bari to
Guvcrjilik, and, according to my notes, it is distant
one hour from the latter place. These ruins may
be the same as those described by Texier, iii.
p. 114, as being distant a league from Bargylia,
dans la plaine do Vautre cote des collines. He
