This meaure of a day's march differs much from the computation of Mr. Rennel, who aigns 15 miles only; but it is more agreeable to the accounts we have from antiquity of uch military movements. But more of this preently.

The fourth column in the foregoing table marks the ditances between the tages mentioned in Xenophon, meaured from the cale of Olympic tadia annexed to Mr. D'Anville's map of Aia Minor. It is continued only from Sardis to Thapacus, as the limits of the map did not afford an opportunity of puruing it farther. The ditance between every tage mentioned by Xenophon is not et down, as the everal tages are not all marked in the map; but this makes little or no difference in the whole ditance; and the coincidence of the numbers pecified by Xenophon with thoe in D'Anville's map, is very remarkable.
