[79] Groskurd is of opinion that “of the same name” is omitted after “city.” [80] Cape Mastico. [81] Porto Mastico. [82] This name is doubtful. Coraÿ suggests Elæus; Groskurd, Lainus, which Kramer does not approve of, although this part of the coast is now called Lithi. It seems to be near a place called Port Aluntha. [83] Cape Nicolo. [84] Psyra. [85] Ilias. [86] Ion was a contemporary of Sophocles. Theopompus was the disciple of Socrates, and the author of an epitome of the history of Herodotus, of a history of Greece, of a history of Philip, father of Alexander the Great, and of other works. He was of the aristocratic or Macedonian party. Theocritus, his contemporary, was a poet, orator, and historian; he was of the democratic party. To these, among illustrious natives of Chios, may be added Œnopides the astronomer and mathematician, who was the discoverer of the obliquity of the ecliptic and the cycle of 59 years, for bringing the lunar and solar years into accordance; Nessus the philosopher; his disciple Metrodorus (about B. C. 330) the sceptic, and master of Hippocrates; Scymnus the geographer, and author of a description of the earth. [87] The Homeridæ may have been at first descendants of Homer; but in later times those persons went by the name Homeridæ, or Homeristæ, who travelled from town to town for the purpose of reciting the poems of Homer. They did not confine themselves to that poet alone, but recited the poetry of Hesiod, Archilochus, Mimnermus, and others; and finally passages from prose writers.—_Athenæus_, b. xiv. c. 13. [88] Of the 283 vessels sent by the eight cities of Ionia in the war with Darius, one hundred came from Chios. [89] Kelisman. [90] Still to be found in collections of coins. [91] Leokaes? [92] B. xiii. c. iv. § 2. [93] Ak-Hissar. [94] Karadscha-Fokia. [95] Marseilles, b. iv. ch. i. § 4. [96] B. xiii. ch. i. § 2. [97] Jenidscheh. [98] Western Africa. [99] Gumusch-dagh. [100] According to Suidas, Daphnidas ridiculed oracles, and inquired of the oracle of Apollo, “Shall I find my horse?” when he had none. The oracle answered that he would find it. He was afterwards, by the command of Attalus, king of Pergamum, taken and thrown from a precipice called the Horse. [101] The incursions of the Treres, with Cimmerians, into Asia and Europe followed after the Trojan war. The text is here corrupt. The translation follows the amendments proposed partly by Coraÿ, and partly by Kramer, τὸ δ’ ἑξῆς Ἐφεσίους.
