" The Coloni are" sometimes imagined part of the city 5 if so,
they must be between the Piraic gate and that of the Ceramicus
or Dipylon, though I should rather suppose them without the
city walls, and between the long walls where there are places
whose situation may agree with this epithetb.

a Meursius, in his Reliqua Attica, proposes an emendation of
the last part of tins passage to Mjgn „«>&„, ^arcc X. (distans
circiter stadns quatuor) in order to make it correspond with the
succeeding quotationfrom Cicero, who would appear to describe
Colonos as between Dipulon and the Academy. Recent classical
travellers place Colonos at one of the eminences beyond the sup-
posed site of the Academy; indeed, the character of the country
in its vicinity would indicate it as the real site of that demos
The Rev. R. S. Hughes observes—" Two little rocky eminences in
the plain, mark the spot which had frequently attracted our eyes
during the walk, as they did formerly those of Quintus Cicero,
the brother of the philosopher, in his Academic excursion." Rel'

were two Coloni, one without, the other within the city, the first

he former was to the north of Athens, near the Academy; the
a *er appears to have been in the neighbourhood of the Areopagus
the Pnyx. The Colonos without Athens was according to
the Scholiast on Sophocles called 'lirmh, or Equestris, from a
Temple of Equestrian Neptune seen there. The term KoXwjvjSex
is seen on several Attic inscriptions. As it is not probable that
a district of Athens itself should have been denominated a demos,
consequently Colonos Hippius can alone be considered as the Co-
lonos of the inscriptions. Meursii Reliqua Attica, Cap. VI.
