from which, in the interior, is situate the free town of Delphi \ 

 at the foot of Mount Parnassus^, and having the most cele- 

 brated oracle of Apollo throughout the whole world. There is 

 the Fountain too of Castalia^, and the river Cephisus'' which 

 flows past Delphi, rising in the former city of Lilaea*. Besides 

 these, there is the town of Crissa* and that of Anticyra', with 

 the Bulenses^; as also Naulochum", Pyrrha, Amphissa*", 

 exempt from all tribute, Tithrone, Tritea", Ambry sua *^, and 

 DrymsBa*', which district has also the name of Daidis. The 

 extremity of the gulf washes one comer of Boeotia, with its 

 towns of Siphae" and Thebes", sumamed the Corsian, in the 



* The modem village of Kastri stands on part of the site of ancient 

 Delphi. Its ruins have been explored by Chandler, Leake, and Ulrichs. 



2 The two highest summits of the range of Parnassus in the vicinity 

 of Delphi were Tithorea, now Vehtza, to the N.W., and Lycorea, now 

 Liakura, to the N.E. Its rocks above Delphi were called the Pheedriades 

 or " Resplendent." 



3 The famed Castalinn spring is now called the Fountain of St. John, 

 from the chapel of that saint which stands close to its source. 



* Now the Mavro-Potamo. 



* Its ruins are still to be seen about three leagues from Kastri. 



* Or Crisso. It was situate inland to the S.W. of Delphi. Its ruins 

 are to be seen at a short distance from the modem village of Chrj'so. 



7 It is supposed that the few ruins seen near the modem Aspra Spitia 

 are those of this place. It was famous for its hellebore, which was ex- 

 tensively used for the cure of madness. There were two other places oi 

 the same name. 



® The people of Buhs, near the Crisssean Gulf. Its ruins are situate 

 at a short distance from the monastery of Dobe. 



5 Ansart suggests that this was the present port of Agio-Sideri or 

 Djesphina. 



'° It occupied the site of the modem Salona ; the walls of its ancient 

 Acropolis are still to be seen. It was the chief town of the Locri 

 OzolsB. 



^^ PouqueviUe thinks that the ruins seen near Moulki are those of Ti- 

 throne, and that Tritea stood on the site of the present Turcochorion. 



^ Or Amphrysus, famous for the strength of its fortifications and its 

 scarlet berries for dyeing. Some remains of it are to be seen at the 

 modem village of Dhistomo. 



^' On the frontiers of Doris and Phocis. Leake thinks that its ruins 

 are those seen midway between Kamares and Glamista. DauHs was also 

 the name of an ancient town of Phocis, the ruins of which are to be seen 

 at the modem viUage of Dhavha. 



14 Probably the present Palseo Kastro, at the Port de Dobrena or Polaca. 



15 Leake thinks that the Corsian Thebes, a port of Boeotia, is repre- 

 sented by the modem Khosia.
