MYKALI (Cape) TURKEY
Off the Trogilian promontory lies an isle of the same name. Thence the nearest passage across to Sunium is one thousand six hundred stadia; on the voyage one has at first Samos and Icaria and Corsia on the right, and the Melantian rocks on the left; and the remainder of the voyage is through the midst of the Cyclades islands. The Trogilian promontory itself is a kind of spur of Mt. Mycale. Close to Mycale lies another mountain, in the Ephesian territory, I mean Mt. Pactyes, in which the Mesogis terminates. The distance from the Trogilian promontory to Samos is forty stadia.
Trogilium (Trogilion), a promontory formed by the western termination of Mount
Mycale, opposite the island of Samos. Close to this promontory there was an island
bearing the same name. (Strab. xiv. p. 636; Steph. B. s. v. Trogilos, according
to whom it was also called Trogilia; Act. Apost. xx. 15, where its name is Trogyllion.)
Pliny (v. 31. s. 37) speaks of three islands being called Trogiliae, their separate
names being Philion, Argennon, and Sandalion.
