islands known as the Glides \ lying before tlie promontory 
wliicli faces Syria ; and again at the end of the other cape^ 
is Stiria: over against jN^eapaphos is Hierocepia^, and op- 
posite to Salamis are the Salaminise. 
In the Lycian Sea are the islands of Illyris, Telendos, 
and Attelebnssa^, the three barren isles called Cyprise, and 
Dionysia, formerly called Caretha. Opposite to the Pro- 
montory of Taurus are the Chelidonise^, as many in num- 
ber, and extremely dangerous to mariners. Purther on we 
find Leucolla with its town, the Pactyso^, Lasia, Nymphais, 
Macris, and Megista, the city on which last no longer exists. 
After these there are many that are not worthy of notice. 
Opposite, however, to Cape Chimserais Dolichiste'^, Choerogy- 
lion, Crambussa^, Rhoge^, Enagora, eight miles in circum- 
ference, the two islands of Daedala^^, the three of Crya^\ 
1 Or Cleides, meaning the " Keys." This was a group of smaU islands 
lying to the north-east of Cyprus. The name of the islands was after- 
wards transferred by some geographer to the Cape which Phny above 
calls Dinse, and others Dinaretum. 2 Cape Acamas, now Pifano. 
3 Or the " Sacred Grarden." The names of this and the Salaminise do 
not appear to be known to the modern geographers. 
^ This is identified by Beaufort with the islet called Boeshat, which is 
separated by a narrow channel from the Lycian shore. The others do 
not seem to have been identified. Attelebussa is supposed to take its 
name from a kind of destructive grasshopper without whags, called by 
the Grreeks arreXepos, 
^ Situate ofi* the commencement of the sea-coast of Pamphylia, on the 
borders of Lycia. Beaufort speaks of them as five in number ; he did 
not meet with any of the dangers of the navigation here mentioned by 
Phny. The Grreeks still call them Chehdonise, and the Itahan sailors 
Celidoni, which the Turks have corrupted into Shehdan. 
^ Hardouin supposes these four islands to be the names of the group 
forming the Pactyse. The names given appear to signify, the "Wild" 
or *' Rough Islands," the " Isle of the Nymphs," the " Long Island," and 
the " Grreatest Island." They were ofi" the coast of Lycia, and seem to 
have belonged to the Bhodians. The modern name of Megista is Ka- 
stelorizo, according to Ansart. 
7 Or Dohche, the " Long Island," in the Lycian Sea, west of the ruins 
of Myra. Its modern name is Kakava. It is now uninhabited. 
^ Stni known as Grrambousa, a small island ofi* the east coast of Lycia. 
There seems to have been another of the same name ofi" the Lycian coast, 
9 An island ofi* the coast of Lycia. 
^0 Hardouin thinks that they were opposite to the city of Dsedala on 
the coast of Caria. 
Ofi* the city of Crya, probably, in Caria.
