[2852] Butrinto.
[2853] Syvota.
[2854] C. Bianco.
[2855] The Thyamus, or Thyamis, is now called Glycys, and the Acheron, Calamas.
[2856] Sopoto.
[2857] Porto Fanari.
[2858] The ruins of Nicopolis are to the north of Prevesa.
[2859] Cæsar Augustus (then Cæsar Octavianus) obtained the celebrated victory of Actium over Marcus Antonius, B. C.31. The latter, after his defeat, fled into Egypt with Cleopatra. The battle would appear to have taken place at the entrance into the Gulf of Arta, and therefore probably off La Punta, opposite Prevesa, and not off the modern town of Azio.
[2860] In the Austrian map a ground-plan of the ruins of Nicopolis are given, at about one mile to the north of Prevesa.
[2861] The Gulf of Ambracia, and the rivers which flow into it, are much distorted in D’Anville. According to more modern maps, the Arathus is the most western of the streams which flow into the gulf, and the ancient city was situated at about 15 miles from the mouth. The Lorn (the Arathus); the Mauro Potamo or Glykys (the Acheron); the Zagura (the Selleis?) which falls into it; and the Tercino, which falls into the Kalamas, (the Thyamis or Thyamus,) all rise in the mountain ridge Olytkiza, about 10 miles to the west of Ianina.
