The peoples of Ætolia are the Athamanes [Note], the Tymphæi [Note], the Ephyri [Note], the Ænienses, the Perrhæbi [Note], the Dolopes [Note], the Maraces, and the Atraces [Note], in whose territory rises the river Atrax, which flows into the Ionian Sea. Calydon [Note] is a city of Ætolia, situate at a distance of seven miles from the sea, and near the banks of the river Evenus [Note]. We then come to Macynia [Note], and Molycria, behind which lie Mounts Chalcis [Note] and Taphiassus. On the coast again, there is the promontory of Antirrhium [Note], off which is the mouth of the Corinthian Gulf, which flows in and separates Ætolia from the Peloponnesus, being less [Note] than one mile in width. The promontory which faces it on the opposite side is called Rhion [Note]. The towns of Ætolia, however, on the Corinthian Gulf are Naupactus [Note] and Pylene [Note]; and, more inland, Pleuron and Hali-
cyrna [Note]. The most famous mountains are Tomarus, in the district of Dodona, Crania [Note] in Ambracia, Aracynthus [Note] in Acarnania, and Acanthon [Note], Panætolium [Note], and Macynium [Note], in Ætolia.
