* The Mare Tyrrhenum, bounded on E. by Italy, S. by 

 Sicily, W. by Sardinia and Corsica, N. by Gaul. Dion. 

 P. 83 Ti'po'Tji'iSos oiSfia OoKaaari^ ; Strabo 55 'Yvpp-qvi.KOV

" Marseilles, 27 miles E. of the mouth of the Rhone, 

 founded about 600 n.c. by colonists from Phocaea {cf. v. 626 

 below) in Asia Minor: Strabo 179; Plin, iii. 34. The 

 epithet ' ' holy " is taken by the schol. as a mere colourless 

 epithet (hpriv /j,fyd\r]i/), but we rather imagine it to refer to 

 the position of Massalia (Massilia) as the great outpost of 

 Hellenic culture in the West. Under the Empire especially 

 it was, as it were, a great University town : Strabo 181
