73 Πυθίου Ἀπολλωνος ἱερὸν, τὸ Πύθιον καὶ τὴν Πέτραν Plutarch. Æmil. 15.
_Pythoum_ (Πυθῷον) _et Petra_ Liv. XLIV. 2, 32, 35. XLII. 53. That
there was only _one_ Pythium in this district is evident from an
accurate examination of the marches. Mannert (vol. VII. p. 520, 563)
has placed Pythium on the pass through the Cambunian mountains
(above the modern Alesson and Sarviza), of which it lay far to the
right. His opinion is contradicted by Liv. XLIV. 2. and Plutarch,
ubi sup. Compare Stephanus in Πύθιον, Πυθιεῖς οἱ τὸ Πύθιον
οἰκοῦντες, ἐν ῷ Ἀπόλλωνος ἱερον ἐστι, and in Βάλλα.
74 960 toises. See above.
75 See Plutarch ubi sup. Liv. ubi sup. and XLIV. 7. comp. Polyb.
XXVIII. 11.
76 Liv. XXXI. 41. XXXVI. 10, 13. XLII. 67. XLIV. 2.
77 Ptolemy includes it in Pelasgiotis. Unfortunately we have not the
Greek original of the passage in Livy concerning the Tripolis, XLII.
53.
_ 78 Orchomenos_, p. 126.
79 Liv. XXXII. 15. Strabo IX. p. 438, 440.
80 Concerning Pelinna, see, besides Cellarius, Spanheim de Usu Numm.
IX. p. 902. Salmasius ad Solin. p. 687. Wesseling ad Diodor. XVIII.
11. and Boeckh Comment. ad Pind. Pyth. X. p. 335.
81 Besides Strabo, see Diodorus XVIII. 56. In Polyænus IV. 2, 18,
should be written, Φίλιππος ἐπολιόρκει Φαρκηδόνα πóλιν Θεσσαλικήν.
82 Concerning Tricca (Tricala 12-3/4 leagues from Larissa, according to
Pouqueville) see Mannert, p. 569, and also Eustathius, vol. II. p.
250. ed. Basil. Tzetzes Chil. IX. 28.
83 See II. B. 370, with the Scholia, and Eustathius. Pelinnus, a son of
Œchalieus, Steph. Byzant. in Πέλιννα.
84 Thus Pouqueville: according to Holland twelve miles, according to
Vaudoncourt four hours.
85 See Meletius, Pouqueville, Holland, Cockerell in Hughes’ Travels,
vol. I. p. 504.
86 The latter according to Arrian I. 7; the former according to Liv.
XXXI. 41. XXXII. 15. XXXVIII. 2. Compare Cæsar B.C. III. 80.
87 Tempe was about 500 stadia from Gomphi, Plin. H. N. IV. 8, which
distance should be thus divided: the length of Tempe 40 stadia, then
to Larissa 160, to Tricca about 240, and to Gomphi 60.
88 Strabo IX. p. 437. II. B. 729. Pausan. IV. 9, 1. Meteora cannot be
Ithome; more probably the ruins of Kastraki. But the passage
concerning Curalius and the temple of the Itonian Minerva, is a
confusion of the geographer. Otherwise de la Porte du Theil
Eclaircissemens sur Strabon I. 76, p. 248.
89 Athen. XIV. p. 639, 640.
90 Pouqueville, p. 37.
_ 91 Orchomenos_, p. 126. Here also Acrisius of Argos dwelt. That it is
this Larissa is plain from Schol. Apoll. Rhod. I. 40, compare
Hellanicus fragm. 116. Pausan. II. 16. Tzetzes ad Lycoph. 836.
92 Strabo, IX. p. 439.
