Modern Description: A colony of Elis (D.7.32), possibly to be associated with the site at Kastri, described as follows: In the Acherusian plain of Epeiros, a large limestone hill is fortified with circuit walls of polygonal masonry built in two phases and some 2500 m long. The site dominates the plain and controls the bridge over the Acheron river which may have been navigable from here to its mouth. Ampelius mentions it (Lib. Mem. 8). (N.G.L. HAMMOND) Or Trikastro on a crag above the Acheron gorge in Epeiros. The circuit wall, ca. 1050 m long, has strong towers, probably a later addition. The site controls the entry from Cassopaea in the S to the upper valley of the Acheron river. A famous oracular utterance of Dodona associated 'three-hilled Pandosia'; with the Acheron (Strab. 6.1.5); it issued coinage for a short time. (N.G.L. HAMMOND)
