[617] Thasus is an island in the Ægean sea, off the coast of Thrace, which bears the modern name of Thaso or Tasso. It was in a flourishing condition in the time of Hippocrates, and a tributary to Athens, but revolted from that power after its disasters in Sicily during the Peloponnesian war. See Herodot., vi., 47; Thucydid., i., 101; viii., 66. Galen states that it is cold, with a northerly exposure.
