It was finished by _Praxiteles_, is made of white Marble, and appears in a naked Posture. There is also a _Juno_ of _Samos_, the Workmanship of _Lysippus_ and _Bupalus_, and a winged _Cupid_, with his Quiver. This Statue was brought from _Myndus_. There was also a _Jupiter_ riding upon an Elephant, which was carved by _Phidias_, and placed in his Temple by _Pericles_. There was also another Statue made by _Lysippus_, which was bald behind, tho’ not before, which was taken for the Statue of _Saturn_. There were also erected here many Statues of Unicorns, Tygers, Beasts that were half Camels, and half Panthers; others that were half Bulls, and half Harts, besides several Statues of Vultures. The unknown Author of the History of _Constantinople_ says, That in his Time there were standing in the _Lausus_ some Eagles that were cut in Stone. I am induced to think, that there were some Figures of Birds standing there at that Time, but believe them to be the Vultures mentioned by _Cedrinus_. This Author tells us, that there stood in the _Lausus_ several fine Buildings, some Hospitals, a Place for the Entertainment of Strangers, which had very good Spring-water, and was call’d _Philoxenon_. Some Writers affirm, that the _Philoxenon_ was a _Cistern_, built by one of that Name. I look upon it to be the same _Cistern_, which was situate between the _Triclinium_ and the _Lausiacum_, and was filled up by the Order of _Heraclius_. _Menander_, surnamed the Protector, tells us, That _Philip_ of _Macedon_ cleansed most of the _Cisterns_ of the City, which _Heraclius_ commanded to be replenished with Earth. If that Prince gave Orders for the cleansing of that _Cistern_, among others, ’tis the same which lies under Ground, on the North Side of _Abraham_ the _Basha_’s House, between the _Lausiacum_, and the _Triclinium_; whose Roof is supported with four Hundred and twenty four marble Pillars, two hundred and twelve supporting the same Number of Pillars above them. I measured one of them, for they all seem to be of a Bigness, and I found it to be six Foot and nine Inches in Circumference. There is another _Cistern_ on the West Side of the same House, whose Arches are supported with thirty two _Corinthian_ Pillars, standing in four Ranges, each Range consisting of eight Pillars, whose _Shafts_ are nine Foot in Compass. As to the _Triclinium_, between which and the _Lausus_ was built the _Philoxenon_; I suppose it to be the same which _Justinian_ the _Third_ built near the Palace, and called it after his own Name, the _Triclinium_ of _Justinian_. ’Tis reported by _Cedrinus_, that this _Triclinium_ was finely beautified by the Emperor _Tiberius_. The Western Gate of this _Triclinium_ is taken Notice of by _Leo_ the _Fifth_, when he foretold that the Head of the Man which should be cut off in the _Hippodrom_ for his Tyranny, should be brought before him through the Western Gate of the _Triclinium_.
