Peloponnesus, are the two isles known as Corycse, and the 
two called Mylae^ On the north side, having Crete on the 
right, and opposite to Cydonia, is Leuce^, and the two islands 
known as Budrose^. Opposite to Matium lies Dia"^ ; opposite 
to the promontory of Itanum^, Onisia and Leuce ; and over 
against Hierapytna, Chrysa and Graudos^. In the same 
neighbourhood, also, are Ophiussa, Butoa, and Aradus ; and, 
after doubling Criumetopon, we come to the three islands 
known as Musagorus. Before the promontory of Sam- 
monium lie the islands of Phocoe, the Platiso, the Sirnides, 
JN^aulochos, Armedon, and Zephyre. 
Belonging to Hellas, but still in the ^gean Sea, we have 
the Lichades'', consisting of Scarphia, Coresa, Phocaria, 
and many others which face Attica, but have no towns 
upon them, and are consequently of little note. Opposite 
Eleusis, however, is the far-famed Salamis^ ; before it, Psytta- 
lia^ ; and, at a distance of five miles from Sunium, the 
island of Helene^^. At the same distance from this last is 
Ceos^\ which some of our countrymen have called Cea, and 
the Greeks Hydrussa, an island which has been torn away 
from Euboea. It was formerly 500 stadia in length ; but 
more recently four-fifths of it, in the direction of Boeotia, have 
been swallowed up by the sea. The only towns it now has 
^ According to Hardouin, all of these are mere rocks rather than 
islands. ^ The modern Haghios Theodhoros. 
3 According to Hoeck, they are now called Turlure. 
4 Now called Standiu. 
5 JSFow Capo Xacro, on the east, though Cape Salomon, further north, 
has been suggested. In the latter case, the Grrandes islands would cor- 
respond with Onisia and Leuce, mentioned by Pliny. 
6 Now Gaidiirognissa. None of the other islands here mentioned seem 
to ha^'e been identified. 
7 Between Euboea and Locris. They are now called Ponticonesi. 
8 Now Kolmi. It is memorable for the naval battle fought off its 
coast, when Xerxes was defeated by the Grreeks, B.C. 480. 
9 Now called Lypsokutah. 
^0 Now Makronisi, or "the Long Island." Its ancient name was also- 
Macris. Strabo identifies it with the Homeric Cranae, to which Paris 
fled with Helen. 
11 Usually called Cea, one of the Cyclades, about thirteen miles S.E. of 
Sunium. Its modern name is Zea. luhs was the most important town, 
and the birth-place of the poets Simonides and BacchyHdes, of the 
sophist Prodicus, the physician Erasistratus, and the Peripatetic philo- 
sopher Ariston. Extensive remains of it still exist. -
