The whole of the passages in the work of Major Rennel^
a part of which is referred to by Mr. Rich, are as follow:—
Cf Herodotus has not said in which of the divisions of the
city the temple and palace respectively stood; but it may
be pretty clearly collected from Diodorus that the temple
stood on the east side, and the palace on the west; and the re
mains found at the present day accord with this idea. For
Diodorus describes the great palace to be on the west side,
the lesser palace on the east; and there also was the brazen
statue of Belus, Now he makes such a distinction between
the two palaces, as plainly to show that the one on the west
was to be regarded as ' The palaceand, consequently,
was the palace intended by those who place a palace to
answer, on the one side, to the temple of Belus on the
other. It is also to be collected from Herodotus, Clio, 181,
that the palace and the citadel were the same. He says
' the royal palace fills a large and strongly-defended space
—in the centre of one of the divisions.
<f Diodorus says that the temple stood in the centre of
the city ; Herodotus, in the centre of that division of the
city in which it stood; as the palace in the centre of its
division. But the description of Diodorus is pointed, with
respect to the fact of the palace being near to the bridge,
and consequently, to the river-bank: and he is borne out
by the descriptions of Strabo and Curtius, both of whom
represent the hanging-gardens to be very near the river :
and all agree that they were within, or adjacent to, the
square of the fortified palace* They were supplied
* Strabo, p. 738.—He says that the " Euphrates flows through the
middle of the city, and the pensile gardens are adjacent to the river;
from whence they were watered."
