PALAWARAM

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 597 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PALAWARAM , a town of British India, in Chingleput
district
 ,
Madras
 , 11 m. S. of
Madras
  city, with a station on the
South
  Indian railway; pop. (19ot), 6416. Formerly called the presidency cantonment, as containing the native garrison for Madras city, it is now a depot for native infantry and the residence of European pensioners. There are several tanneries.
PALAllOLO ACREIDE, a town of Sicily, in the province of Syracuse, 28 M. by road W. of it, 2285 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901), 14,840. The town occupies the site of the ancient Acrae, founded by Syracuse about 664 B.C. It followed in the main the fortunes of the mother city. In the treaty between the Romans and
Hiero
  II. in 263 B.C. it was assigned to the latter.
The ancient city lay on the hill above the modern town, the
approach to it being defended by quarries, in which tombs of all periods have been discovered. The auditorium of the small theatre is well preserved, though nothing of the stage remains. Close to it are ruins of other buildings, which
bear
 , without
justification
 , the names Naumachia, Odeum (perhaps a bath
establishment
 ) and Palace of
Hiero
 . The water
supply
  was obtained by subterranean aqueducts. In the cliffs of the Monte Pineta to the
south
  are other tomb chambers, and to the south again are the curious bas-reliefs called Santoni or Santicelli, mutilated in the 19th century by a peasant proprietor, which appear to be sepulchral also. Near here too is the necropolis of the Acrocoro della Torre, where many sarcophagi have been found. Five miles north lies Buscemi, near which a sacred grotto has been discovered; and also a church cut in the
rock
  and surrounded by a cemetery).
See G. Judica, Antichita di Acre (Messina, 1819). (Baron Judica's collection of antiquities was dispersed after his death.) J. Schubring, Jahrbuch fur Philologie, Suppl. IV., 662672.
