Notes (1)
- i.e. (well) off the west coast of the Peloponnese (Greece). Strabo 8.4.2 more accurately says that they are two islands c.400 stadia (c.45 miles) offshore.
Omitted from the Barrington Atlas, as that publication subsequently acknowledged.
This entry is abridged from the equivalent one in Harpokration, commenting on their appearance in Dinarchus fr. XII.6 Conomis. Besides the error noted in n.1 below, the toponym itself is here corrupted from Strophades to Stromphides (or in one manuscipt Strombides). - 1No, Elis (
*)/hlidos ): Harpok. ↩
