cyrna^ The most famous mountains are Tomarus, in the 
district of Dodona, Crania^ in Ambracia, Aracynthus^ in 
Acarnania, and Acanthon'', Pansetolium^, and Macynium^, in 
^tolia. 
CHAP. 4. (3.) — LOCBIS AKD PHOCIS. 
Next to -^tolia are the Locri^, surnamed Ozolae ; a peo- 
ple exempt from tribute. Here is the town of CEanthe^, 
the port^ of Apollo Phsestius, and the Gulf of Crissa^^. In 
the interior are the towns of Argyna, Eupalia^\ Phaestum, 
and Calamisus. Beyond are the Cirrhsean 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 
Hahcyrna. 
2 Leake supposes it to be identical with the high mountain now called 
Kelberini. Others again identify it with Grribovo. 
^ Phny erroneously places this mountain in Acarnania. It was a range 
of JEtoHa, now called Zygos. 
* Perhaps the modern 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 modern districts of Ma- 
landrino and Salone. They were called "Ozolse" or ' strong- smelling,' 
either from the undressed 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. 
^ PouqueviUe imagines its ruins to be those seen about two leagues 
from the modern Galaxidi. 
^ Lapie marks this in his map as the modern port of lanakhi. 
So called from the ancient town of Crissa, which stood on it. It is 
the same as the modern Grulf of Salona. 
^1 Or Eupalium. Leake supposes it to have stood in the plain of Ma- 
rathia, opposite the islands of Trazonia, where some ruins still exist. 
12 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 ; Cfrrha being thought 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 modern name of Magula. 
^'^ Or Chalaeum. 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 confounded it with Cirrha. Leake 
BUggests that its site was the present Larnaki.
