THE TEMENOS FOUND.

watch my proceedings, and take possession of all that the
Ottoman Government could claim under the conditions
of ni)' firman ; but the stone remains at the railway
station at Smyrna to this day.
The great question as to the whereabouts of the
Temple was now decided. Six years had elapsed since I
had first begun the search. This seems a long time, but
the actual time devoted to the search did not extend over
more than twenty months, and the cost of the work did
not exceed 2,000/.

In the course of these excavations I had found
Hypocausts of several Roman baths in the open plain
of Ephesus, the dwarf columns between the two pave-
ments being composed of terra-cotta. One of these
hvpocausts was found near the Peribolus wall of the
Temple.
Eager to obtain more inscriptions, I opened up the
peribolus wall each way from the angle, and at the
distance of eighteen feet found on each face another in-
scription, giving the width of the roads and streams.
These were respectively fifteen CllbitS wide.
One very interesting fact is connected with all these
Success.
