Modern Description: A port of call on the coast of Epeiros, just N of Sarande. Remains of a small Roman theater and of buildings and fortifications of the Late Roman Empire suggest that it became important only in Roman times. Its position is indicated by Strabo (7.7.5), and its wind favored Cicero in sailing to Italy (Att. 7.2.1). (N.G.L. HAMMOND)
