Thirdly, Peparetlios is mentioned in history oftener 

 than any other of the islands belonging to the group ; 

 a fact implying prominence. The modern Skopelo 

 now stands at the head of the Northern Sporades. 



Fourthly, Rheginus, one of the members of the 

 first Oecumenical Council ^(A. D. 325), was bishop 

 of 01 S/coVcXot (Cedr. it, 436). He is now the patron 

 saint of the modern Skupelo. "We add further, that, 

 as Cedrenus calls him inla-Konos Skottc'Xdp, it is natural 

 to suppose that originally the Magnesians and Thes- 

 salians applied the expression oj 'S.xiniKot, the Rochs, 

 to the islands lying oflf the Magnesian coast ; but in 

 process of tinafe the singular SieoTrfXof was restricted 

 to tfie principal one, that is, to Peparetlios. This 

 confusion of names led Ptolemy and his copiers 

 (Hierocles and Porphyrogenitus) to imagine that 

 vrjaos 2Ko?rcXo£ was distinct from v^o-os TieirapriBos. 



Hierocles, Synecd. 391, 24. 25 (Bonn edit.). In 

 Porphyrogenitus, 2KeirtKa, corresponding to the 2k6- 

 TTfXos of Ptolemy, seems to owe its existence to bad 

 copying. Porph. Them. 50, 7. 



If Skopelo is Peparethos, it follows that ra AtSpofiia, 

 Lidhromia, is identical with the ancient 'Iko?, which 

 see.
