_Itinéraires Russes en Orient_, p. 106. Immediately after speaking of
the Church of St. Acacius, he proceeds to say, “Au pied de la
montagne, se trouve l’eglise des saints Serge et Bacchus.” In the
Latin version given in Riant’s _Exuviæ CP._, ii. pp. 228, 229, the
passage is rendered, “Ex altera parte monticuli posita est Ecclesia
SS. Sergii et Bacchi.”

Footnote 1153:

But for the statement of Nicephorus Gregoras (xxvi. p. 87), one would
suppose that the scene of this amphibious struggle was among the reefs
and shoals off the shore between Kadikeui and Scutari. But Nicephorus
says explicitly that the conflict took place off the Diplokionion
(Beshiktash), ὅπη κίονες διπλοῖ σχῆμα τάφου τινὸς ἀνέχοντες ἵστανται.
According to Gyllius, the sea off the shore between Beshiktash and
Galata was in his day shallow and full of rocks. _De Bosporo Thracio_,
ii. c. 8, “Alluitur mari vadoso, crebris petris supra aquam
eminentibus inculcato.” The Turkish names of two points on this shore,
Beshiktash, Cabatash, refer to these rocks.

Footnote 1167:

The indications for the site of the Church of St. Acacius are: (1) It
was ἐν Ἑπτασκάλω (Anonymus, ii. p. 33); (2) near the Church of St.
Metrophanes (_Synaxaria_, June 4; _Itinéraires Russes en Orient_, p.
106); (3) near the Residence of Moselè (Μωσηλὲ), and the monument
named the Christocamaron (Χριστοκάμαρον), after a gilt Icon of Christ
upon it (Anonymus, ii. p. 38). (4) The Christocamaron, it is supposed,
was the same as the Chrysocamaron (Χρυσοκάμαρον: Anonymus, iii. p.
48). Supporters of that identity are Banduri (_Imp. Orient._, ii. p.
688) and Dr. Mordtmann (p. 59). (5) The Chrysocamaron stood to the
rear of the Myrelaion (Anonymus, iii. p. 48). (6) The Myrelaion was
the church, now the Mosque Boudroum Djamissi (Gyllius, _De Top. CP._,
iii. c. 8; Patriarch Constantius, _Ancient and Modern Consple._, p.
75). (7) Therefore, the Church of St. Acacius was situated to the
rear, or to the east of Boudroum Djamissi. There are two weak points
in this chain of arguments; Codinus (pp. 107, 108) distinguishes the
two monuments which are identified above, and speaks of two places in
Constantinople that were named Myrelaion.

Footnote 1168:

He refers to the Kontoscalion in the Fourth Book of his work, pp. 72,
74; and to the Neorion at the Heptascalon in the same Book, pp. 165,
212, 220, 284.

Codinus, p. 72.

Footnote 1170:

Cantacuzene, iv. p. 165.

Footnote 1171:

_Ibid._, p. 290. Taken in conjunction with the other arguments on the
subject, the epithet New, bestowed upon the Neorion at the
Heptascalon, implied not only that the harbour was no longer its old
self, but, also, that it was to be distinguished from another and
earlier Neorion. But the only other conspicuous Neorion during the
reign of Cantacuzene was the Kontoscalion.

Lib. xxvi. p. 90.

Footnote 1174:

Unger (_Quellen der Byzantinischen Kunstgeschichte_, p. 264), without
discussing the question at length, holds, as the result of his study
of the texts, that the Kontoscalion cannot be identified with either
the Harbour of Sophia or the Heptascalon. Scarlatus Byzantius (Ἡ
Κωνσταντινούπολις, vol. i. pp. 268, 277) also maintains that the three
names designated different harbours.
