that the Place which _Socrates_ calls the _Forum_ of _Theodosius_, is called by _Zonaras_ and _Cedrinus_, the _Taurus_, and that they are both the same _Forum_, and that the _Nympheum_ here mentioned is different from the _Nympheum_ which is situate near the _Forum_ of _Constantine_, over against the Senate-House, and where they usually solemnized their Weddings, as has been observed before. The Author of the _Antient Description, &c._ writes, that the _Carosian Bagnio’s_ were so called from _Carosia_, the Daughter of the Emperor _Valens_; but he does not tell us in what Part of the third Hill they stood, nor could I discover when I was at _Constantinople_, whether they are entirely in Ruines, and others built in the Room of them, (as there are very large ones at present on the Top and the Sides of the third Hill, which the _Turks_ have built) or not. The same Author places the Churches of St. _Hirena_ and _Anastasia_ in the seventh _Ward_, but does not mention in what Part of it. Nor is it possible to find out their Situation, but from the Historical Accounts we have received of it, which say, that when the City was taken by the _Franks_ and the _Venetians_, a Fire began at the Synagogue of the _Saracens_, in that Part of the City which declines towards the Sea Northward, very near to the Church of St. _Hirena_. That this Church stood within the Precinct of the _Seraglio_, I was first informed by some antient People of the City; I afterwards took Notice of a lofty Tower which stood without the Precinct of the _Seraglio_, which was situate on the East Side of the third Hill. It was a square Building, and is still called by the Vulgar _Hirene_; but whether it was the Church of St. _Hirene_, or the Empress _Hirena_, I cannot tell. I find among the Monuments of antient Learning, that there were three Churches at _Constantinople_ dedicated to St. _Hirena_. The first was called the Old Church of St. _Hirena_, which, as _Socrates_ writes, was built by _Constantine the Great_, and stood near the Church of St. _Sophia_. The second, I am now speaking of, stood on the third Hill; and the third, as _Procopius_ says, was built by _Justinian_, at the Mouth of the Bay called _Ceras_, or _Cornu_, and was called the Church of St. _Hirena_ the Martyr. Some Authors write, that the Church of _Anastasia_ was built in that Place, where the new _Bezestan_, or new _Basilica_ now stands: Others that it was situate near the Cistern, supported with Abundance of Marble Pillars, and stands between the _Basilica’s_ of the _Forum_, and the Tomb, and _Caravansera_ of _Bajazet_ the Emperor. _Sozomen_ writes, that when St. _Gregory_ went from _Nazianzum_ to _Constantinople_, he preached in a small Church built by his Auditors, which was afterwards very much enlarged by succeeding Emperors, and was also beautified and adorned in the most expensive Manner, and was called the Church of St. _Anastasia_. Whether it was so called, because St. _Gregory_ by
