anciently the capital of Attica, so famous for its learned men, orators, and captains, now called Setines. It stands upon a plain watered by the rivers Ilissus and Eridanus, about 40 miles east of the isthmus of Corinth: At present it is said to contain 10,000 inhabitants, three parts of which are Christians. The town does not lie round the castle as anciently, but on the north-west side of it. Here a Greek metropolitan resides. Among the many remains of antiquity, is the temple of Jupiter Olympius, and temple of Minerva, called Parthenion, which last is still entire, and converted into a Turkish mosque, which, as later travellers assure us, is the finest temple in the world. This city, as all the rest of Greece, is subject to the Turks. E. long. 24° 15' N. lat. 38° 5'.
