["Mount Tomerit, or Tomohr," says Mr. Tozer, "lies north-east of Tepalen, and therefore the sun could not set behind it" (_Childe Harold_, 1885, p. 272). But, writing to Drury, May 3, 1810, Byron says that "he penetrated as far as Mount Tomarit." Probably by "Tomarit" he does not mean Mount Tomohr, which lies to the north-east of Berat, but Mount Olytsika, ancient Tomaros (_vide ante_, p. 132, note 1), which lies to the west of Janina, between the valley of Tcharacovista and the sea. "Elle domine," writes M. Carapanos, "toutes les autres montagnes qui l'entourent." "Laos," Mr. Tozer thinks, "is a mere blunder for Aöus, the Viosa (or Voioussa), which joins the Derapuli a few miles south of Tepaleni, and flows under the walls of the city" (_Dodone et ses Ruines_, 1878, p. 8). (For the Aöus and approach to Tepeleni, see _Travels in Albania_, i. 91.)] 26. And Laos wide and fierce came roaring by. Stanza lv. line 2. The river Laos was full at the time the author passed it; and, immediately above Tepaleen, was to the eye as wide as the Thames at Westminster; at least in the opinion of the author and his fellow-traveller. In the summer it must be much narrower. It certainly is the finest river in the Levant; neither Achelous, Alpheus, Acheron, Scamander, nor Cayster, approached it in breadth or beauty. 27. And fellow-countrymen have stood aloof. Stanza lxvi. line 8. Alluding to the wreckers of Cornwall. 28. The red wine circling fast. Stanza lxxi. line 2. The Albanian Mussulmans do not abstain from wine, and, indeed, very few of the others. 29. Each Palikar his sabre from him cast. Stanza lxxi. line 7. Palikar, shortened when addressed to a single person, from Παλικαρι [Palikari] [παλληκάρι [pallêka/ri]], a general name for a soldier amongst the Greeks and Albanese, who speak Romaic: it means, properly, "a lad." 30. While thus in concert, etc. Stanza lxxii. line 9. As a specimen of the Albanian or Arnaout dialect of the Illyric, I here insert two of their most popular choral songs, which are generally chanted in dancing by men or women indiscriminately. The first words are merely a kind of chorus without meaning, like some in our own and all other languages. 1. Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, 1. Lo, Lo, I come, I come; Naciarura, popuso. be thou silent. 2. Naciarura na civin 2. I come, I run; open the Ha pen derini ti hin. door that I may enter. 3. Ha pe uderi escrotini 3. Open the door by halves, Ti vin ti mar servetini. that I may take my turban.
