Upon the lowest of these there lies a young Man, with his Face upwards, and his Legs folded, holding a musical Instrument in his Hand. There hangs over him a little Figure, in the Likeness of a _Cupid_, and above the _Cupid_ there rises a Woman. Upon the highest Table there’s carved a naked Statue, with a Club in his Hand; his right Arm is cover’d with a Lyon’s Skin, and with his left Hand he is leading Dogs. Above him is the Statue of a Lyoness with full Dugs. Upon another Table are carv’d two Husbandmen carrying Baskets full of Grapes; and upon another is the Statue of a flying Horse. The Bridle is held by a Woman, behind whom stand two Women more: At the Top of the Table there’s another Woman in a recumbent Posture, and opposite to her a young Man lying on the Ground. I took particular Notice of these Figures, by Reason of the Antiquity, and the admirable Sculpture of them. I saw also upon the seventh Hill, among others, four Mosques of curious Workmanship. Their _Vestibules_ and Pillars were all of Marble. Three of them stood on the Eastern Side of the Hill, two of whose _Vestibules_ were adorn’d with six lofty and large Pillars; two of which were of _Thebean_ Marble, and the other four of different kinds of Marble, vein’d with a dark green. The other stands near the Pillar of _Arcadius_, lately built by the Consort of _Solyman_ the _Grand Seignor_, (with a handsome _Caravansera_, and a College, where the _Turkish_ and _Arabian_ Learning is profess’d) in which I counted more than sixty Pillars of different kinds. On the Top of the Hill there are two other Mosques, one of which has _Bagnio’s_, and Colleges joyning to it. The _Vestibule_ of it is beautify’d with six Pillars of _Thebean_ Marble, which measure each six Foot in Circumference. Their _Bases_ and _Capitals_ are finish’d after the _Turkish_ Manner. The _Shafts_ of the Pillars are very ancient, especially of those two which face the Door of the Mosque, whose _Hypotrachelions_ at Top are more slender than the _Shafts_, tho’ in the lower Parts of them, they are equal to them, as a Man’s Neck is less in Circumference near the Head, than the Shoulders. ’Tis adorn’d with one _Annulet_, which rises in the manner of a Ring. Above it there’s another _Annulet_, which is broad and flat. I saw no _Hypotrachelion_, all the Time I was at _Constantinople_, which came so near the Model of _Vitruvius_, as this; who delivers it as his Judgment, that the _Hypotrachelion_ ought to be contracted in the upper Part of it, as you may see in his third Book _de Ionicis_. There’s another Mosque on the same Hill, the _Vestibule_ of which is beautify’d with six very lofty Pillars; in the College Court there are fourteen, and as many in a _Portico_ adjoyning to it. CHAP.
