Veli Pacha caused an ex- cavation to be made here, and was rewarded for his labour by the discovery of some ancient statues ; but as a great part of the ruins are still unexplored, more might possibly be extracted DR. CLARKE IN ERROR. 119 from them . In this direction are also to be seen the remains of a small octagonal temple, A few yards to the north of the theatre is the building called an oracular shrine by Dr. Clarke ; but there is every reason to believe that he is mistaken in his supposi...tion. Dr. Clarke mentions a ruined wall below the ci- tadel, which he concluded formed part of the ancient fortifications; but it appeared to us that, the town being defended by the fortress, these were unnecessary ; and they proved to be the remains of an aqueduct Curiosity induced us to trace its course ; and we found that it ter- minated in the concealed passage of the oracu- lar shrine, which Clarke imagined was intended for the reception of the priests who delivered the oracles : in the other direction, the aque- duct may be traced to the banks of the Inachus ; it then winds along the sides of the mountains for five or six miles, until it crosses the Cha- radrus in the valley near Katubeles, and from thence the direction it takes is towards a glen in the mountains, whence rushes a stream of water, which undoubtedly used to be conduct- ed by means of the aqueduct to Argos.
