ILLUSTRATIONS AND REMARKS.
Trakonis are four villages on a hilly situation,
about six miles from Athens. The Phaleric
marsh extends this way. " See Map."
Perhaps from 'A^aj, Pyrus communis. Varie-
tas Sylvestris. Linn.
A ruined demos past Calamo in the way to Mar-
copolis.
A mountain near Legrana.
A mountain near Anaphlystos.
This may possibly be the place now called
EAIM02 or EAIMB02. The mutation of a
P into a A being very frequent, and the inter-
position of an I short between two consonants
extremely naturalc.
Signifying Nine Towers.
In it there are many ruins f.
On the Cephissus.
The situation of this place is very evident, and its
name still remains entire. Here are great
ruins, among which that of a Theatre is very
easily distinguished. The port on which it
stands is now called Porto Mandri, and may
probably be the same with the Tlccvropccrgtov
of Ptolemy k. I could discover no inscription,
though I used much diligence.
6 Mr. Dodwell terms this village Eraklida, near Koukoubages.

which told Dr. Clarke that Sefairy signifies " the war." See

1 The architectural details of one of the ruins of Thoricus
have been published by the Dilettanti Society. This ruin is sup-
posed to have been a basilica. It is singular in having had seven
columns in the front and fourteen at the sides, and was probably
divided on the plan by a line of columns in the centre, as a temple
at Pactum. The theatre was 170 feet across. Sir W. Gell de-
scribes Tumuli, or heaps of Scoria; of the silver mines of Laurium,
not far from Thoricus. See Itin. of Greece, Uned. Ant. of Attica.
