the chief town, Chios, was situated, which had a harbour capable of holding 80

the southern point of the island; then Phanae (Thuc. viii. 24), where there was
a deep recess, a temple of Apollo, and a grove of palm-trees. There was also a
point or headland at Phanae (Steph. s. v. Phanai), which Ptolemy also mentions
under the name Phanaea, Livy (xliv. 28) mentions the Promontorium Phanae as a
convenient, place to sail from to Macedonia. It seems to correspond to Port Mesta,
