The Scepsian Demetrius. apparently accepts the opinion neither of this man Ephorus. nor of those who suppose them The Amazons. to be the Halizoni near Pallene, whom I have mentioned in my description of Macedonia. Olynthus was seventy stadia distant from Potidaea. The naval station of Olynthus is Macyperna, on the Toronaean Gulf. Near Olynthus is a hollow place which is called Cantharolethron “Beetle-death.” from what happens there; for when the insect called the Cantharos, which is found all over the country, touches that place, it dies. After Cassandreia, in order, comes the remainder of the seaboard of the Toronic Gulf, extending as far as Derrhis. Derrhis is a headland that rises opposite to Canastraeum and forms the gulf; and directly opposite Berrhis, towards the east, are the capes Cape Nymphaeum (now Hagios Georgios) is meant. of Athos; and between Derrhis and Nymphaeum (cp. Frag. 32). is the Singitic Gulf, which is named after Singus, the ancient city that was on it, now in ruins. After this city comes Acanthus, a city situated on the isthmus of Athos; it was founded by the Andrii, and from it many call the gulf the Acanthian Gulf.
