The antiquities now extant in this place are these. The _castle_, which was _Roman_, and where _Dolabella_ beheaded _Trebonius_. The large head of _Smyrna_ the _Amazon_ over the gate of the same. The inscription relating to _Joannes Ducas_ over another gate of the same, with the modern oriental _eagle_ on both sides. The small remains of the _theatre_, in which _S. Polycarp_ was burnt, lately taken to pieces to build the _Vizír kane_ of the place, and _bezesten_, or _market_. The reliques of _St. John’s church_. The space and walls of an ancient _cirque_. All which are on the said castle hill, which immediately overlooks the city. The ruins of the _temple of Apollo_ at the foot of mount _Corycus_, in an olive grove, and over the θερμὰ ὕδατα. The ruins of the _temple of Aesculapius_, or _Neptune_, in the way to _Eshekléer_; where was lately found the head of _Janus_, and another of _M. Modius_. A rich and delicate pavement of _mosaic_ work by the sea side, towards the north, at a place where the outer wall terminates in the shore; which possibly is the remains of the _gymnasium_, or some heathen temple. The several _inscriptions_ there lately found, reported in _Prideaux_, or at the end of this book. The large _stones_ of a yard and half square in a great and massy wall, now part of a _kane_ in the _Armenian_ street, on all of which is marked the letter V, as large as the breadth of the stone would permit. The remains of an old _Roman_ way, paved with broad and massy stones, but smooth, in the road over the castle hill toward _Ephesus_. The remains of the ancient wall encompassing the _pomoerium_, or a large space of ground about two thousand paces distant all round from the castle, or the city. The scarcity of antiquities now to be found in _Smyrna_ arises from hence, that it furnished the greatest part of the _Marmora Arundeliana_. _The inscriptions here said to be_ reported in Prideaux, _are to be found in the Doctor’s edition of the_ Marmora Arundeliana. _And as to those referred to_ at the end of our author’s book, _such of them will be here subjoined, as are not in the large collection designed by him for a_ second part _of his_ Antiquitates Asiaticae; _of which a few sheets only, containing those which relate to_ Ephesus, _were printed by him a little before his death, and the rest are now in my possession_. In a very pleasant valley near the bank of the river _Meles_, scarce thirty paces without the city. ΜΕΝΟΣ[1] ΙΕΡΟΝ ΑΦΡΟΔΙΤΗΣ ΣΤΡΑΤΟΝΙΚΙΔΟΣ[2] ...
