_of the Wards of the City_, calls the Wooden Bridge, and places it in the fourteenth _Ward_, in which, as I observ’d, was the Suburbs call’d the _Hepdomum_. I desire the Reader to remark one Thing from _Suidas_, that St. _Mamas_ Bridge had either twelve Stone Arches, or else, that he was writing of another Church of St. _Mamas_, situate in another Place. CHAP. VII. _Of the seventh Hill, the twelfth Ward, and of the Pillar of_ Arcadius. I take it for granted, from the Situation of the Pillar of _Arcadius_, now standing on the seventh Hill, call’d the _Xerolophon_, (which is divided from the other six Hills by a broad Valley,) that That is the twelfth _Ward_, which lies a great Way upon the Level, from the Entrance of the City at the _Porta Aurea_, and is lengthen’d, on the Left Side of it, by a gentle Descent, and bounded by the Sea. It contain’d the _Porta Aurea_, the _Trojan Portico’s_, the _Forum_, and Haven of _Theodosius_, and a Pillar with winding Steps in the Inside, built in the _Xerolophon_ by _Arcadius_. The Hill still preserves the same Name. Upon this Pillar the Emperor plac’d his Statue, which was thrown down, in the Reign of _Leo Conon_ by an Earthquake, which shook the whole City, overturn’d many Churches and Houses, and buried Multitudes of People under it. _Cedrinus_ assures us, that this Pillar was in all respects like that of _Theodosius_ erected in the _Taurus_. It has a _Base_, a _Pedestal_, and a _Capital_. The _Shaft_ of the Pillar, with its _Pedestal_ and _Capital_, consists of twenty one Stones. Above the _Capital_ are two Stones. The _Pedestal_ alone is built with five Stones, so closely cemented together, that if the Pillar had never felt the Shocks of an Earth-quake, or the Decays of Time, it had appear’d to have been one entire Stone. These Stones are plac’d one above another, and are hollow in the Inside. Each of them is the whole Compass of the Pillar, out of which are cut the Steps and Windows which beautify and enlighten it. I took upon me to measure the Compass of the _Shaft_ from the Stone which covers it at Top, down to the lowest Step of the _Pedestal_. This Stone therefore, thro’ which there is cut a Door, by which you ascend above the _Abacus_ of the _Capital_, is about thirteen Foot nine Inches high, and is itself the Roof and Arch of the whole Pillar. The Door is six Foot two Digits high, and three Foot nine Inches broad. The second Stone is six Foot high, in which is cut the uppermost Step above the _Abacus_ of the _Capital_. The third is five Foot and four Digits high, and contains the _Abacus_ and the whole _Capital_. The fifth is five Foot in height, wanting two Digits. The Sixth is four Foot nine Inches high. The Seventh five Foot and two Digits. The Eighth four Foot and four Digits. The Ninth is six Foot high. The Tenth five Foot. The Eleventh four Foot and fourteen Digits. The Twelfth four Foot nine Inches. The Thirteenth five Foot. The Fourteenth five Foot two Digits. The
