Notes
- Several 'places' of this name are attested, notably the promontory of eastern Thessaly and two cities called Magnesia in Asia Minor: one known by its situation on the river Maeander, the other by its proximity to Mt Sipylus; see OCD(4) s.v.(1) and (2), and cf. mu 21.
Also the name chosen by Plato, Laws, for his best practically-possible city (in Crete).
