[32] Opposite to Canastrum, a promontory of Pallene, is the promontory Derris, near Cophus-Limen [or Deaf Harbour]: these form the boundaries of the Toronæan Gulf. Again, towards the east lies the promontory of Athos, [Nymphaeum,] which bounds the Singitic Gulf. Then follow one another the gulfs of the Ægean Sea, towards the north, in this order: the Maliac,1 the Pagasitic,2 the Thermæan,3 the Toronæan,4 the Singitic,5 and the Strymonic.6 The promontories are these: Posidium,7 situated between the Maliac and Pegasitic Gulfs; next in order, towards the north, Sepias;8 then Canastrum9 in Pallene; then Derris;10 next Nymphæum11 in Athos, on the Singitic Gulf; Acrathos,12 the promontory on the Strymonic Gulf; between them is Athos, to the east of which is Lemnos. Neapolis13 bounds the Strymonic Gulf towards the north. EPIT.
