C. 3. Mount Anehesmus : on the highest point of it is a little church dedicated to St. George,
formerly the Temple of Jupiter Anchesmius.
D. 5. A Turkish sepulchre. All the little columns, and buildings near it, are Turkish sepul-
chres ; and the place is a Turkish burying-ground.
E. 2. The northern wing of the Propyleea, supposed to have contained the paintings of Po-
lygnotusb, at present a magazine of military stores.
F. 1. A modern tower, now a prison0. It is built on an ancient ruin. Between this and the
last-mentioned edifice are seen the remains of the Propylaea.

kind stand over the choragic monument of Thrasicles, now the Church of our Blessed Lady of the

O. 4. The Convent of St. Cyriani on Mount Hymettus.
O. 7- The Kiosc, or Summer-house of the Vaiwode; with a little garden adjoining.
P. 6. The temple described in the second chapter of our first volume. Under it are two
springs, one of which is called Callirrhoe, the other I have supposed to be the fountain of Panops.
Q. 1. The highest point of Mount Hymettus. The stones on the fore-ground are ruins of
the ancient city walls. The figures represent some of the principal Turkish inhabitants, diverting
themselves at their favorite exercise, the jereet. On the right hand is the Disdar Agii, at whom the
Vaiwode is about to throw his jereet, and rescue his Kaiyah from the Disdar, who pursues him. The
next is the Mudereese Effendi, who is conversing with Acmet Aga, the richest and most respectable
Turkish gentleman of Athens ; the other figures represent their attendants.

the Propylaeum as "The Temple of Victory Apteros", introduced
however throughout the description of that edifice in Chap. V.,

tion, which induce us to make this emendation. CED0

tained to have been immediately beneath the Choragic monument
of Thrasyllus, the cavea or hollow of which is from thence dis-
tinctly perceptible; and it is in the same direction in this view
immediately behind the ruin, called by Stuart the Theatre of
the middle ages as a signal-tower, previous to the occupation of Bacchus, but pretty clearly since ascertained to be the remains
the countrvbvthe Turks. Similarly situated watch-towers and of the Odeum of llegilla, or Music Theatre built by Herodes
Attieus, and so named in honor of his wife. CED-]
