Since the annexed Map is entirely copied from that of Barbié du Bocage, as
far as the country is concerned, I will only remark some important points
in which Arrowsmith’s great Map of Turkey, which is in part founded on
quite different authorities, differs from it. In this Map the small lake
to the east of Lychnis, or Lychnitis (the lake of Ochrida), is not
connected with any river running to the coast, and the mountains to the
west of it stretch uninterruptedly to the south. (Perhaps this is correct:
see p. 453, note g. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“Candavian chain,” starting “Ptolemy.”]) The Haliacmon rises rather more
to the north than in Barbié du Bocage’s Map. The Cara-Sou, which is
certainly the Erigon, runs into the lake of the Lydias. (Incorrect,
according to Strabo, quoted in p. 451, note b. [Transcriber’s Note: This
is the footnote to “mountains of Illyria,” starting “Its rise in these
mountains.”]) The Lydias has a longer course, and rises in the Illyrian
mountains. The modern river Gallico, which I make the Echeidorus, flows at
some distance from the sea through a lake into the Axius. The tributary
branch of the Achelous, called by the ancients the Inachus, rises further
to the south, under the Pindus-chain (contrary to the authors quoted in p.
452, note f. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to “Epirus of
Lacmon,” starting “Or Lacmus.”]). Upon the whole, Barbié du Bocage’s Map
is without doubt the more accurate.
