The coast of Ionia has the islands of Trageæ, Corseæ [Note], and Icaros, which has been previously [Note] mentioned; Lade [Note], formerly called Late; and, among others of no note, the two Camelidæ [Note], in the vicinity of Miletus; and the three Trogiliæ [Note], near Mycale, consisting of Philion, Argennon, and Sandalion. There is Samos also, a free [Note] island, eighty-seven miles in circumference, or, according to Isidorus, 100. Aristotle tells us, that it was at first called Parthenia [Note], after
that Dryussa [Note], and then Anthemussa [Note]. To these names Aristocritus has added Melamphllus [Note] and Cyparissia [Note]: other writers, again, call it Parthenoarussa [Note] and Stephane [Note]. The rivers of tis island are the Imbrasus, the Chesius, and the Ibettes. There are also the fountains of Gigartho and Leucothea; and Mount Cercetius. In the vicinity of Samos are the islands of Rhypara, Nymphæa, and Achillea.
