[2603] Opposite Acarnania: by the Venetians they were called the Islands of Kurtzolari. Some of them are cultivated, others again are mere rocks.
[2604] Now called Cephallenia.
[2605] Now Zante.
[2606] Now Thiaki, or Cefalogna Piccola—Little Cephallenia.
[2607] The general opinion is, that Strabo is right in identifying this island with one of the Echinades; but it seems impossible now to say which of them was so called.
[2608] Sometimes confounded with Cephallenia; but, according to Virgil and Mela, as well as Pliny, they were different islands.
[2609] Crocylæa was a town of Acarnania, referred to by Homer; and there was a district of Ithaca called Crocylcium. Pliny is probably in error in mentioning Crocyle as an island.
[2610] Or the “Black Island;” probably from its thick foliage.
[2611] Pale, Cranii, and Proni.
[2612] So called from its fir-trees. It now has the name of Scopo.
