MYNDOS (Ancient city) TURKEY
Α promontory belonging to the Myndians, opposite which lies Scandaria, a promontory of Cos, forty stadia distant from the mainland. And there is a place called Termerum above the promontory of Cos.
ZEFYRION (Ancient location) TURKEY
Philyreis (Philureis), an island off the coast of Pontus, in the Euxine.
It must have been situated near Cape Zephyrium, opposite the district inhabited
by the Philyres, from which, in all probability, it derived its name. (Apollon.
Rhod. ii. 1231; comp. Amm. Marc. xxii. 8; Dionys. Per. 766; Steph. B. s. v. Philures.)
Hamilton (Researches, i. p. 261) identifies it with the small rocky island 2 miles
west of Cape Zefreh, and between it and the island of Kerasonde Ada.
MYNDOS (Ancient city) TURKEY
Scopia (Skopia akra), a headland on the west coast of Caria, to the west of Myndus,
and opposite the island of Cos. (Ptol. v. 2. § 10.) Strabo (xiv. p. 658) mentions
two headlands in the same vicinity, Astypalaea and Zephyrium, one of which may
possibly be the same as Scopia.
