Meropis, as Dionysius tells us ; and, after that, Njraplisea. 
In this island there is Mount Prion. Msyros\ formerly 
called Porphjris, is supposed to have been severed from the 
island of Cos. We next come to the island of Caryanda^, 
with a city of that name, and that of Pidosus^, not far 
from Halicarnassus. In the Grulf of Ceramicus we also find 
Priaponnesos"^, Hipponnesos, Psyra, Mya,Lampsa,^myndus, 
Passala, Crusa, Pinnicussa, Sepiussa^, and Melano. At a 
short distance from the mainland is an island which bears 
the name of Cinaedopolis, from the circumstance that King 
Alexander left behind there certain persons of a most 
disgraceful character. 
CHAP. 37. — SAMOS. 
The coast of Ionia has the islands of Trageae, Corseae^, 
and Icaros, which has been previously'' mentioned ; Lade^, 
formerly called Late ; and, among others of no note, the two 
Camelidse^, in the vicinity of Miletus ; and the three Tro- 
gilise^^, near Mycale, consisting of Philion, Argennon, and 
Sandalion. There is Samos also, a free^^ island, eighty-seven 
miles in circumference, or, according to Isidorus, 100. Ari- 
stotle tells us, that it was at first called Parthenia^^, after 
^ Which has been previously mentioned in this Chapter. 
2 In C. 29, PHny has mentioned a Caryanda on the mainland. It is 
probable that there was a town on the mainland and another in the 
island of the same name. Leake says, that there can be httle doubt that 
the large peninsula, towards the west end of which is the line harbour 
called by the Turks Pasha Lunani, is the ancient island of Caryanda, now 
joined to the mainland by a narrow sandy isthmus. 
3 The island of Hyali, near the harbour of Meffi, on the coast of 
Caria, according to Dupinet. 
Probably so called from the worship of the god Priapus there. 
^ Few, if any, of these islets can now be recognized. Sepiussa was 
probably so called from the abundance of the sepia, or cuttle-fish, there. 
^ Over against the isle of Samos. B. iv. c. 23. 
^ jS'ear the city of Miletus. 
^ So called from their resemblance to camels. 
Lying before the Promontory of Trogihum, mentioned in C. 31. 
Augustus gave their Hberty to the Samians. The island is stiU 
called by the Grreeks Samo, and by the Turks Susam Adassi. 
^2 The " Yirgin's Island," if so called after Juno, as some say ; but 
according to Strabo, it received its name from the river Parthenius.
