62 From Poidæum to Tyndarida: 45 tadia. This place was probably o called from Caftor and Pollux, the ons of Tyndarus, who were adventurers in the Argonautic expedition, and forms another local evidence of that event.

From Tyndaridae to Nymphzeum 15 tadia. From Nymphmum to Oxinas 30 tadia.

Marcianus Heracleota makes it to be 90 tadia from Poidæum to Oxinas, which agrees with Arrian.

From Oxinas to Sandaraca 90 tadia. From Sandaraca to Crenides 60 tadia. From Crenides to Pylla 30 tadia.

This place is mentioned by Ptolemy, under the name of Pyllium,and is placed 26′ to the wet of Tios, or Tion, which is near double the ditance aigned by Arrian. Scyllaeum is placed in the Peutingerian Tables 12 Greek miles ditant from Tion, which is nearer the computation of Arrian.

From Piylla to Tios 60 tadia. Pliny ays, that Tios is 38 miles ditant from Heraclea. This is not ⅔ of the ditance aigned by Arrian. Perhaps the doubling of the Acheruia Cheroneus might caue o great a difference between the computation by land and that by ea. The ditance by land agrees nearly with Pliny's computation. From
