Notes (3)

  1. The first part of the entry follows Stephanus of Byzantium s.v.
  2. 1The river Nedon actually flows SW down Mt Taygetos, reaching the sea in Messenia. See Barrington Atlas map 58 grid C3. ↩
  3. 2So Stephanus, drawing on Strabo 8.4.4 (cf. 8.3.29, where however a genitive *ne/dwnos has been conjectured). ↩
  4. 3Lykophron [the hellenistic poet: lambda 827], Alexandra 374, where Nedon is one among a list of hills in Euboia. ↩
