Doris comes next, in which are Sperchios^, Erineon^, 
Boion^, Pindus, and Cytinum^^. Behind Doris lies Mount 
CEta. 
CHAP. 14. — PHTHIOTIS. 
Haemonia follows, a country which has often changed its 
name, having been successively called Pelasgic Argos, Hel- 
las, Thessaly, and Dryopis, always taking its surname from 
its kings. In this country was born the king whose name 
was GrsDCUS ; and from whom Grsecia was so called ; and here

present Palseo Choria. 
9 Its ruins are placed by Leake near the modern Mariolates. 
10 Like Pindus, one of the four towns or Tetrapohs of Doris. Its site 
corresponds to the modern Grravia.
