[4268] The ruins found by Pococke at Calas Limneonas, north-east of Cape Sigri, may be those of Antissa. This place was the birth-place of Terpander, the inventor of the seven-stringed lyre.
[4269] Or Eressus, according to Strabo. It stood on a hill, reaching down to the sea. Its ruins are said to be near a place still called Eresso. It was the birth-place of the philosopher Theophrastus, the disciple of Aristotle.
[4270] Still called Mitylene, or Metelin.
[4271] Strabo makes it about only 137 miles.
[4272] Or the White Islands.
[4273] So called from its fruitfulness in quinces, or “Mala Cydonia.”
[4274] These were three small islands, near the mainland of Æolis. It was off these islands that the ten generals of the Athenians gained a victory over the Spartans, B.C. 406. The modern name of these islands is said to be Janot.
[4275] One of the Leucæ, previously mentioned.
[4276] So called from the φελλὸς, or “cork,” which it produced.
[4277] Still known as Tenedos, near the mouth of the Hellespont. Here the Greeks were said to have concealed their fleet, to induce the Trojans to think that they had departed, and then introduce the wooden horse within their walls.
