KYFOS (Ancient city) THESSALIA
Now as for the Aenianians, most of them were driven into Oeta by the Lapiths; and there too they became predominant, having taken away certain parts of the country from the Dorians and the Malians as far as Heracleia and Echinus, although some remained in the neighborhood of Cyphus, a Perrhaebian mountain which had a settlement of the same name.
RAPSANI (Small town) TYRNAVOS
Ascuris (Ezero), a lake in Thessaly in the range of Mt. Olympus. The castle Lapathus which Livy describes as above the lake Ascuris, probably corresponds to the ancient castle near Rapsani. (Liv. xliv. 2; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. pp. 349, 418.)
SKOTOUSSA (Ancient city) THESSALIA
A river of Thessaly, flowing near Scotussa, through the battle-field
of Cynoscephalae into the lake Boebeis. It was probably the river at the sources
of which Dederiani stands, but which bears no modern name. (Liv. xxxiii. 6; Polyb.
xviii. 3; Steph. B. s. v.; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 473.) It is perhaps
the same river as the Onochonus (Onochonos, Herod. vii. 129; Plin. iv. 8. s. 15),
whose waters were exhausted by the army of Xerxes. It is true that Herodotus describes
this river as flowing into the Peneius; but in this he was probably mistaken,
as its course must have been into the lake Boebeis. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol.
iv. p. 514.)
