CHALKIS (Ancient city) ILIA
So the ship ran on its course and came to Arena and lovely Argyphea and Thryon, the ford of Alpheus, and well placed Aepy and sandy Pylos and the men of Pylos;past Cruni it went and Chalcis and past Dyme and fair Elis, where the Epei rule.
At any rate, if one should conceive the notion that the Eleian
Pylus is the Pylus of Nestor, the poet could not appropriately say that the ship,
after putting to sea from there, was carried past Cruni and Chalcis before sunset,
then drew near to Phea by night, and then sailed past Eleia; for these places
are to the south of Eleia: first, Phea, then Chalcis, then Cruni, and then the
Triphylian Pylus and Samicum. & Then comes the mountain of Triphylia that separates
Macistia from Pisatis; then another river called Chalcis, and a spring called
Cruni, and a settlement called Chalcis, and, after these, Samicum, where is the
most highly revered temple of the Samian Poseidon.
