[Pygella,] a place, which we call Phygella; from where it is possible to make the ferry crossing to Crete.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πύγελλα· τόπος, ὁ παρ' ἡμῖν λεγόμενος Φύγελλα· ὅθεν ἐστὶ περαιώσασθαι τὸν πρὸς Κρήτην κατάγοντα πορθμόν.

Notes

Since P(h)ygela (sic: single lambda) lay on the coast of Asia Minor, south of Ephesus (pi 3109), 'Crete' here is surely nonsense; Samos, rather?
The entry is in any case out of alphabetical order.
