Note 809 — Chapter XXIV · AKARNANIANS. — EPIROTS.
Reading edition
See the account of this territory in Colonel Leake’s Travels in Northern Greece, vol. i. ch. v; his journey from Janina, through the district of Suli and the course of the Acheron, to the plain of Glyky and the Acherusian lake and marshes near the sea. Compare, also, vol. iv, ch. xxxv, p. 73.
“To the ancient sites (observes Colonel Leake) which are so numerous in the great valleys watered by the lower Acheron, the lower Thyamis, and their tributaries, it is a mortifying disappointment to the geographer not to be able to apply a single name with absolute certainty.”
The number of these sites affords one among many presumptions that each must have been individually inconsiderable.
