SUL 
20 from Santa Maura. It consists of a large valley, inclosed 
by almost inaccessible mountains. This territory, about 26 
miles long from north to south, and 8 in breadth, has been 
long inhabited by a memorable race of Greeks, who maintain 
themselves in the form of an independent republic. It con¬ 
tained formerly 18 villages, of which 5 were situated in the 
southern and less difficult part of the valley towards Louro, and 
13 in the Upper part, more rugged and inaccessible. The prin¬ 
cipal villages were Mega Souli, the capital, Navarikos, and 
Kiapha. On the east, at the foot of the mountain, is a fine 
plain, of about 6 square leagues, which is very fertile. In 
it the Suliotes settled for the purpose of cultivating the land, 
but in times of danger retired with their property to the 
mountains. On the south Suli is bounded by the Chimaera 
mountains. Their wars, particularly between 1786 and 
1803, were remarkable for the courage and pertinacity which 
they displayed. In vain did Ali Pacha attack them in 1792, 
with a powerful army. He was repulsed, as well in that 
year as subsequently; and it was not until 1803 that he de¬ 
finitively succeeded. On the loss of their independence, a 
part of the Suliotes left their country, and took service in 
Russia and France. But in the last war, (for the particulars 
of which see Turkey); they have been nearly exterminated. 
The population of this tribe in 1821, was about 10,000.
