A meeting place of the Epirote League (Livy 42.38.1). A spur near Philiates between the Kalamas river and a N tributary is fortified with a circuit wall ca. 3000 m long, and the acropolis has a fine semicircular tower. A small theater, towers, and gateways are visible. The Kalamas may have been navigable to this point.

A town of Epirus, described by Livy as being near Corcyra, and about 10 miles
from the coast. (Liv. xlii. 38.) It is not mentioned by any other ancient writer,
and it has therefore been conjectured that the word is a corrupt form of Chyton,
which Ephorus spoke of as a place in Epirus colonised by the Clazomenii.
