Notes
- Presumably the one that has generated this entry is the Troy of the Trojan Wars, a.k.a. Ilion (on which see the confused entry at iota 320); present-day Hissarlik in Turkey; Barrington Atlas map 56 grid C2; OCD(4) s.v. Besides iota 320, see also alpha 383, gamma 4, kappa 908, mu 1092, omicron 251, pi 34, pi 3121, pi 3253, sigma 590, tau 1045, tau 1079. But note that at least three others are attested (in Egypt, Epirus and Italy).
