PHELLUS. (Vol. i. p. 76.) 



Phellus is mentioned, in conjunction with Anti- 

 phellus, by several ancient authors. Strabo placed 

 both towns inland, incorrectly ; for of the site of 

 Antiphellus on the coast there can be no doubt. 

 This error led to the conjecture, that he had made 

 the same mistake respecting Phellus. Thus 

 Dr. Cramer suggests that Port Sevedo may answer 

 to the latter site. In the enumeration of sea- 

 side places given in the Stadiasmus, Antiphellus 

 is mentioned, but Phellus is omitted. Our dis- 

 covery of the ruins of Phellus in the high 

 country behind Antiphellus, explains these state- 

 ments of the old geographers. 



In the following inscription on a sarcophagus 

 in the plain of Avellah near the ruins, the name 

 of the city is mentioned.

(Mem. iii. p. 54.) 



In the Stadiasmus, among the places on the 



coast, mention is made of Acroterium between 



Aperlse and Antiphellus.
