OBSERVATIONS.

PHarus is a little Iland in the Sea over a∣gainst Alexandria; in the midst whereof, Ptolemy Philadelph built a tower of an excee∣ding height, all of white Marble. It contain∣ed many Stages, and had in the top many great Lanterns, to keep light in the night, for a mark to such as were at Sea. The Architector in∣graved thereupon this inscription; Sostrates G••••idius, the son of Dexiphanes, to the Gods Conservatours, for the safety of Naviga∣tours.

It was reckoned for one of the seven Won∣ders of the world. The first whereof was the Temple of Diana at Ephesus. The second was the Sepulchre which Artemisia, Queen of Ca∣ria, made for her Husband Mausolus, whose ashes she drank. The third was the Colossus of the Sunne at Rhodes. The fourth was the Walls of Babylon. The fifth was the Pyramides of Ae∣gypt. The sixth was the Image of Jupiter Olym∣pius at Elis, which was made by Phidias, and contained threescore cubites in height; and was all of Ivory, and pure Gold. And the seventh was this Pharus.
