But whatever dependence Mr. Rennel may place on this calculation, he owns that the account given by Paufanias, of the ditance from Olympia to Sparta, leads to a different concluion, and gives a tadium of nomore than 707 to a degree. Pauanias etmates this ditance at 660 tadia; and Mr. Rennel ays, "that on the map this ditance is 50 Greek miles, or 56 by the broad, giving a rate of 707 to a degree.
