February xii.
We set forward this morning by six a clock, and about midday journeying to the left of mount Sipylus, and the fair city of Magnesia, we first cross a small bridge over a river, which feeds the Hermus, and about one a clock pass the Hermus itself, on a bridge of an hundred and sixty paces in length. From hence we ride half an hour on the silver banks of that pleasant river, and thence over the plain to Tartalécui, where we conáck.
