scholars agree marks the site
of Inatos. In any case the
distance is the same and
is accurately given. Time
from Gortyna to Ini about
7 hours.*
60 Accurate. Time i\ hours.
60 See above. Ini is evidently
intended. Tsoutsouros to
Ini is actually nearly 80.
Time 3^ hours.
Actually Strabo is giving the
width of the island at its nar-
rowest in this part. Thus
from sea to sea as the crow
flies he is certainly accurate.
Phoinix, however, lies some
distance to the West of the
line and is by the route
through the Askyphos gorge
about 145 from Amphimalla.
Time 7J hours.*
Accurate as to the width of the
island at this point as the
crow flies. Actually by road
it is about 70. Time 2 \
hours.
40 Actually nearer 50. Time just
under 2 hours.

Remarks
This must be the Kisamos
mentioned by Strabo as the
harbour of Aptera. The
table distinguishes 2 Kisa-
moi. Pashley would put it
at Apokoronou Kastelli far-
ther East. If the table is
right it must have lain just
below Aptera at Fort Izze-
din.
This must be wrong. The
