A city.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τερέστη· πόλις.

Betacode

*tere/sth: po/lis.

Notes

No city called Tereste is otherwise attested; so Bernhardy was surely right to emend to Tergeste (the Italian city which gave its name to the Tergestine Gulf, at the top of the Adriatic); present-day Trieste.
cf. tau 215.
