[88] Theodoret says that the Sanni, and the Lazi, subsequently mentioned, although subdued by the Roman arms, were never obedient to the Roman laws. The Heniochi were probably of Grecian origin, as they were said to have been descended from the charioteers of the Argonauts, who had been wrecked upon these coasts.
[89] Or Apsarus, or Absarum. Several geographers have placed the site of this town near the modern one known as Gonieh. Its name was connected with the myth of Medea and her brother Absyrtus. It is not improbable that the names Acampsis and Absarus have been given to the same river by different writers, and that they both apply to the modern Joruk.
[90] It is suggested by Hardouin that these are the same as the Zydretæ mentioned in the Periplus of Arrian, and by him placed between the Heniochi and the Lazi.
[92] Supposed to be the same as the modern Tshorok.
[93] Or “Deep” River. This stream may possibly be identified by observing that Pliny places only one river between it and the Phasis.
[94] Probably the Madia of Ptolemy, who places it in the interior.
[95] At the present day called Eraklia, according to Parisot.
[96] Now called the Faz or Rhioni.
[97] Still called El Faz or Poti.
