cyma^ The most famous mountains are Tomarus, in the 

 district of Dodona, Crania^ in Ambracia, Aracynthus^ in 

 Acarnania, and Acanthon'*, Panaetolium'^, and Macynium*', in 

 -^tolia. 



CHAP. 4. (3.) — LOCBIS AlTD PHOCIS. 



Next to JEtolia are the Locri'', sumamed OzolaB ; a peo- 

 ple exempt from tribute. Here is the town of (Eanthe*, 

 the port® of Apollo Phaestius, and the Gulf of Crissa'". In 

 the interior are the towns of Argyna, Eupalia", Phaestum, 

 and Calamisus. Beyond are the Cfirrhaean plains of Phocis, 

 the town of Cirrha'^, and the port of Chalseon*^, seven miles 



appears to be unknown. The modem Kyra-tis-Irinis is thought to oc- 

 cupy the site of Pleuron. 



* Leake supposes some ruins between Kurt-aga, the site of Chalcedon, 

 and the east end of the Lagoon of Missolonghi, to be the remains of 

 HaHcyma. 



2 Leake supposes it to be identical with the high moimtain now called 

 Kelberini. Others again identify it with Gribovo. 



^ Phny erroneously places this mountain in Acarnania. It was a range 

 of JEtoUa, now called Zygos. 



* Perhaps the modem Djourmerca. 



* Either the present Plocopari, or perhaps, more probably, Yiena. 

 ^ A part of Mount Taphiassus. It is mentioned only by Pliny. 



' They are supposed to have inhabited the modem districts of Ma- 

 landrino and Salone. They were called "Ozolse" or ' strong-smelling,' 

 either from the imdressed skins worn by them, or from the quantities of 

 asphodel that grew in their country ; or else from the vapours thrown 

 off by the mineral springs in those parts. 



8 PouqueviUe imagines its ruins to be those seen about two leagues 

 from the modern Galaxidi, 



^ Lapie marks this in his map as the modem port of lanakhi. 



^^ So called from the ancient town of Crissa, which stood on it. It is 

 the same as the modem Gulf of Salona. 



iJ Or Eupaliura. Leake supposes it to have stood in the plain of Ma- 

 rathia, opposite the islands of Trazonia, where some ruins still exist. 



^2 Pausanias makes this town to be the same with the Homeric Crissa, 

 but Strabo distinguishes the two places, and liis opinion is now generally 

 followed ; Cirrha being thouglit to have been built at the head of the 

 Crisssean gulf, as the port of Crissa. Its ruins are thought to be those 

 which bear the modem name of Magula. 



'3 Or Chalseum. Phny erroneously calls it a town of Phocis, it being 

 on the coast of the Locri Ozolse. He is wrong also in placing it seven 

 miles from Delphi, and not improbably confoimded it with Cirrha. Leake 

 suggests that its site was the present Lamaki.
