64 with the decription given by Tournefort, who remarks at the ame time, that both thee ports are now choaked up with land. The goodnes of its ports gave occaion for everal medalto be truck, celebrating their convenience and utility. It is now called Amatro, and is about 12 Greek miles, or 100 tadia, ditant from the Parthenius by modern maps.

From Amaitris to Erythinus 60 tadia. This place was o called, according to Strabo, from two red rocks, like the Saxa rubra on the Flaminian way in Eturia.

From Erythinus to Cromna 60 tadia. Cromna is placed by Ptolemy 10' to the eat of Amatris, equal nearly to 73 tadia, whereas in Arrian it is 120 tadia. The ditance from Cromna to Cytorus is in Arrian 90 tadia, but in Ptolemy it is nearly 113.5 tadia. But although there be a difference here, yet the whole ditance between Amaitris and Cytorus does not vary greatly in the two authors, it being in Arrian 210 tadia, and in the Latin copy of Ptolemy 192 tadia nearly.

From Cromna to Cytorus 90 tadia. This was a place dependent upon Sinope, and had its name from the box-trees that grew there, as we are told by Strabo, and Theophraitus. Catullus and Virgil both remark the abundance of this tree at the ame place. Apollonius calls it, which the Scholiat explains by aying.
