 teni{da of EplwtDi, being th* centre of Ihs pagu wonbip in Au*, would be onft of the fiitt to Aufier from tba icooocliuts in Iha reign of Theodasiaa L, when mea in black, u Libuiiiu alt them, orer- tDmed the altars, and defkced the templee. When the great Diana of the Epfanuana wu tamed out of her honw, the boilding mold sane no other piupcaa than to be UMd aa a atone qnarr;. Choodlec (cmud the atadiimi li Epheaiu, one mde of which waa ou the hill which he identiG« with PritHi, and the opposite aide which w«» neit to the pliua waa raised on arches. He foand the kngth to be 687 feet. He alao describes the remains of the Iheatn, which ia mmtJODed in the tnmiUt which was caoied at Epheoua b; St. Paol'a preaching. Fellows (Alia Mmor, p. 374) obaervea that tbeie can be DO doubt about the nte of the theatre. Chandler saw also the remains of an odeuia or mniic hall. There an the renuuia of a temple of the Co- rinthian order, which waa aboDt 130 feet long, and 80 wide. The cella waa built of mataive at<«ies. The eolunms were 4 feet 6 inches in diameter, and the whole height, inclnding the base and capitals, ■bore 46 feet. The shafts were fluted, and of a ainj;le piece of alone. Tlie best preserrod of these columns that Chandler saw waa broken into two parts. The friese contained ■ portion of bold sculp- ture, which npretentcd aoote foUag< and jaaag bojv. The tjnaniea oo Prion or Plod, for the name is written both waja, anpplied the marble for the templn of Ephesns. Priia, as Strabo has it, was at» called Lepre Acle ; it waa abo>a the dtj t£ Strabo's tinu, and oq it, aa be aajs, was fort of the wall. Hamilton (^Raearehtt, &c toL ii. p. 24), one of the latest tnx-elleiB who haa vialad Ephemis, spent ■eraral daja then. He thinks that Uie site of the great temple ia in some " maasire stnicliim tiie weateni extremitf of the town, which overlook the swamp or marsh where waa the ancient ha boor." This is eiactlj the spot when it ought be according to Strabo's deaoiption. The pla which Hamilton describes ia " immediatelj in frant of the port, mised npon a base thirtj or brtj feet high, aJid approached bj a grand flight of steps, the mina of which are atill visible in the centre i ' the pile." Hamilton obaerrea that " brick archi and other works hare also been laiaed on rarioi; portions of the walla ; but this was prtJiablr done bj the Christians alter the deslroction of the temple and Ha remoral of the columns bj Coostantine, when a church was erected on its nuns." The BUppoaition that the basement of the temple baa been buried by the atlnTium of the Cajster is ver- perly rejected by Hamiiteo, who has painted oi ' ' probable site. Phnj describee a spring in the and names it Callipia, which maj ire the Alit Panaanias. Hamilton found a beauUTu! spring to the north of the harbour^ the head of the spring was about 200 jarda Erum the temple. Thi " tance of the temple, supposed to be near the from the old dlf on the bfnghta seems to agree with the atoiy in Herodotns (i. 26). The po " ' of the tomb of Androclua, as described by Panai is quite consiatent with this suppoeed site o: gnat temple. Hamilton observes that the which Pausanias dncribea " must have led along the Talley between Prion and Coresans, which e tenda towards Uagneaia, and is crossed by the 11 of waUa erected by Lysunachns. The Magnni dates wmid also have stood in this valley, ind mt not be confounded with thoM which ar« in Um di- rection of A iamlack." Hamilton suppoK* that the Olympieium may have atood in the space betweei the temple of Arlemia and the theatre in the iici|;1i- bourliood of the agora, where he found the nniaim of a targe Corinthian temple, which is that mriuch Chandler describes. Hamilton dcambea the Helleiue wall of Lysima- hna as extending along the heights of Ccraau for neariy a mile and three quartos, in a SE. and {W. direction, IVom the heights immediately to the L of the gymnasium to the lower called the Piisoo of St. Paul, bnt which is in liut one if the towers of ient wall, clc«ely reaembling many otheti
 * cur at tvions intervals. The portxm which

connected Mount Prion irilh Uoont Careaaua, and in which waa the Uagneaian Gate, appears to have beat immediately to the eaat of the Rymnaeium.' The wall is well built. Hamilton gives a drawing rf s perfect gateway in the wall, with a peculiar arch. He obeyed alio another wall eitending from the theatre over the top of Mount Prion, and thenee to the eastern extremity of the stadium. Be thinks that thie may be the oldeat wall. Beaidea this mO and that supposed to be Lyaimachna ', already de- scribed, he found another wall, principally of briil, have beet built by the Bysaa- Bouj'l Hunnla. y SarSn ud anrrn^ Tempi of ArtmiliofEph™i.
