Pausily̆pus

, a mountain near Naples, which receives its name from the beauty of its situation, ( παυω λυπη , ce are facio dolor ). The natives show there the tomb of Virgil, and regard it with the highest veneration. There were near some fish-ponds belonging to the emperor. The mountain is now famous for a subterraneous pa age near half a mile in length, and 22 feet in breadth, which affords a safe and convenient pa age to travellers.
