Notes (2)

  1. 1From Stephanus of Byzantium s.v.; unlocated; see further, next note. ↩
  2. 2Also in Thessaly: mentioned by (e.g.) Strabo 9.5.2 & 23, who says that both it and Nesson (which he regards not as a specific toponym but as an early name for Thessaly as a whole) were named after Nesson, a son of Thessalos. ↩
