Note 2355 — Chapter II
W. (William) Falconer translation
Thermessa, at present called Vulcano, is doubtless the same mentioned in Pliny’s Nat. Hist. lib. iii. § 14, tom. i. p. 164, as Therasia, by the error of the copyist. Paulus Orosius, lib. iv. cap. 20, says that it rose from the bed of the sea, B. C.571. It is however certain that it was in existence B. C.427, confer. Thucyd. lib. iii. § 88, and was for a considerable time called Hiera.
