Description
Excerpt from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Vol. 1 of 2: Abacaenum-Hytanis
Separate articles are given to the geographical names which occur in the chief classical authors, as well as to those which are found in the Geogre phera and Itineraries, wherever the latter are of importance in consequence of their connection with more celebrated names, or of their representing modern towns, or from other causes. But it has been considered worse than useless to load the work with a barren list of names, many of xthem corrupt, and of which absolutely nothing is known. The reader, however, is not to conclude that a name is altogether omitted till he has consulted the Index; since in some cases an account is given, under other articles, of names which did not deserve a separate notice.
