While we were at Delphi, the Kastalian spring was flowing in a copious stream, and formed several small cascades, the appearance of which was highly picturesque. The sides of the foun- tain' were covered with fine water-cresses: I gathered some for dinner, which the poor people observing, asked if they were medicinal ; and when I explained to them how they were to be eaten, they communicated the discovery to the others ; and, the next morning, I met a party of the vil- lagers returning from the... spring, each with a provision of the newly discovered vegetable : they thanked me for the information I had given them; and, pointing to their cresses, told me they should for the future give them the name Frankochorton, or the Frank's Herb. The poorer Greeks, particularly those who live so far from the sea, have so little to eat during their long and rigorous fasts, that the discovery of a new vegetable, which they did not know was palatable or wholesome, was a circumstance of some importance to them.
