* Sir G. Wheler twice mentions a bay which he supposes was
"anciently called Ilyphormus Portus", but without stating his au-
thority for the name; he places it near Lambra and Eimeapyrgoe,
and it is also introduced in his map of Greece. Wheler's Journey
into Greece, pp. 424. 449.
b Dr. Spon thus speaks of the miserable islets alluded to :■—" La
grande est, si je ne me trompe celle qu'on appelle maintenant
Agios Georgios et la petite Sarpcdona : toutes deux de tres
peu d'etendue et inhabitees, comme je crois, qu'elles etoient
anciennement; ainsi je ne leur fais pas l'honneur de leur donner
rang parmi les peuples d'Attique comme fait Meursius, non plus
qu'a l'lsle de Phavra (Oat^a) dont Strabon fait bien mention,
mais il ne leur donne point ce titre." Chandler says these islands
were termed Megale Kyra and Mikra Kyra. Mr. Dodwell heard
them named Skarmagga-Kyradcs, on each of which was a small
chapel. See Spon's, Chandler's, and Dodwell's Travels in
Greece. [>d.]
c Phaura would now appear to be called Phlega, and is off
Cape Zoster. The island named by Strabo near Astypalsea,
was Eleousa, and is supposed to be that near Port Anaphiso.
Historians having recorded that the early settlers in Greece first
inhabited the coasts, and that subsequently, for better security
against pirates and freebooters, they were induced to establish
themselves in more defensible positions at a distance from the sea,
has caused a recent author to suppose that Astypalsea " was in all
probability the residence of those who afterwards inhabited the
Acropolis." The apparent distance however, according to Strabo,
of the Promontory Astypalsea from the Cecropian citadel, coun-
teracts that etymological inference. The name of Astypalsea,
vol. in.
one of the Cyclades, is by Steph. Byz. said to be derived from
Astypalaea, the mother of Ancseus, of whom Pausanias also
speaks, which name is supposed by Bochart in his Geographia
Sacra to be of Phoenician origin. V. Strabo, p. 398. Wilkins'
Atheniensia, p. 39. Ted.1
d Spon thus speaks of Phlya :—" Cet ancien bourg qui est dans
le Mesoia entre Rafti et le Cap Colonne, conserve encore son
nom. C'etoit la patrie du poete Euripide, mais il y a eu trois
poetes celebres de ce nom-la." This place is not mentioned by
Stuart in his List of Modern Places in Attica, nor by Gell; but
Wholer, after quitting Lambra, says, " we kept on something
north-westward, through a good and well cultivated plain, to
two or three houses, in the fields, they call Fillia. The distance
from Athens, and resemblance of the name, makes me believe it
was hereabouts the ancient Phlya stood." See Spon's Liste de
l'Attique, and Wheler's Travels, p. 449. [ed.]
e Spirit of freedom ! when on Phyle's brow
Thou sat'st with Thrasybulus and his train,
Couldst thou forebode the dismal hour which now
Dims the green beauties of thine Attic plain?
..... Childe Harold, Canto II. lxxiv.
f This is the beginning of the name of a demos of the tribe
Antiochis, the rest of which is obliterated on the inscription where
alone it is found. The marble was brought to England by Sir
G. Whelcr, and is now at Oxford. It related to the Gymnasium,
and is distinguished as bearing the names of the thirteen Attic
tribes and many of their demoi. See note on Bagvaffa, p. 29. [ed.]
