الصفحة 78 - Some of the towers are extant to more than half their original height, with masonry in regular courses about eighteen inches high. The material is the same as that of the rocky peak behind the village, giving, together with that peak, a white appearance to the place at a distance, which probably suggested the modern name. The church of Velitza is large and ancient, in the form of a Greek cross, with a dome in the middle ; among many spoils of Hellenic buildings in the walls and pavement, is an inscribed...
الصفحة 153 - Abac, which Pausanias mentions, was traversed by Col. Leake, who thus describes it : " This forenoon, having quitted the monastery of Skripou, I cross the north-eastern angle of the ancient city, and at 10.58 begin to pass by a narrow paved road, between the foot of the upper cliffs which formed the northern boundary of the city and the summit of the lower, which immediately overhang the principal source of the Melas, or that which joins the Cephissus. ... At...
الصفحة 154 - At 11.9, we quit the lower range of cliffs, the higher still overhanging the road, and soon afterwards begin to descend the rugged side of the mountain, by a most perilous path. At 11.33, having arrived at the foot of the hill, we enter a plain on the north-eastern side of Mount Acontium, bounded eastward by the marshes of the Melas, and pursue the borders of the marsh to Tzamali, a small collection of huts on the brink, where we arrive at 11.45.
الصفحة 382 - Pars haec; illa pavet saturam serpentibus ibin. Effigies sacri nitet aurea cercopitheci, Dimidio magicae resonant ubi Memnone chordae, Atque vetus Thebe centum jacet obruta portis. Illic aeluros, hic piscem fluminis, illic Oppida tota canem venerantur, nemo Dianam.
الصفحة 155 - At Tzamali we quit the Topolia road and turn to the left to the head of the plain ; at 11.55 leave to the right that which conducts to the places lying between the northern shore of the Cephissis [Copaic Lake] and the Euboic frith, and at 12.11, arriving at the western extremity of the plain of Aspledon, ascend some rugged hills which connect Mount Acontium with the peak now called Chlomo.
الصفحة 298 - Acrcephium; in 10 more arrive at the mountains on the southern side of the plain, and then follow the margin of the lake, along the foot of the mountain which overhangs it, and where scarcely any path is traceable, sometimes passing through the water, sometimes over little green levels under the rocks. At the end of 27 minutes from the foot of the chasm of Kardhitza, a projecting point of the mountain affords from its summit a good view of the adjacent part of the lake where I had already noticed...
الصفحة 279 - LuTdsi, for some reasons of their own, thought proper to represent it. From Lukisi it crosses the mountain which borders the valley of Anthedon to the west, and descends upon a vale at the head of the bay of Skroponeri, where are some copious sources issuing not far from the shore of the bay, and flowing into it. From thence the road crosses Mount Skroponeri to the vale of Larmes. The distance from Lukisi to Larmes is reckoned two hours and a half. Although the name Larmes, or Lames, which is applied...
الصفحة 271 - ... flows, and rejoins the rest of the river very near the entrance of the south-easternmost of the katavothra 3 . In summer this cavern, or false katavothra, as it may be called, is dry, and there is a passage through it on foot; but at present it is the resort of a multitude of fishes. The south-eastern katavothra resembles the cavern in outward appearance, being an aperture at the foot of a perpendicular rock of equal altitude. But there is much more water here: the stream which enters is about...
الصفحة 219 - It is plentifully provided with water,- and abounds in green pastures and fertile hills, and in gardens beyond any city in Greece. Two rivers flow through the town, and irrigate...
الصفحة 135 - This was perhaps the river of St. George, which flows past the western side of Coronea. Plutarch calls the stream the Philarus, and tells us that it had a tributary called the Isomantus, which joined it near Coronea (Lysander, 29). Leake thought that the Isomantus might be the rivulet of Steveniko which joins that of St. George a little above the ancient site. See Leake, Northern Greece, 2. p.
