66 31′; but Arrowmith's chart places it in Lat. 42° 24′, or 47′ more to the northward.

Pliny ays, that the promontory Carambis is ditant from the Os Ponti 315, or as ome ay 350, miles. The latter number approaches nearly to the computation of Arrian, who makes it amount to 2810 tadia, equal to 351 Greek miles, which is a cloe coincidence. In Ptolemy, the difference of longitude between Carambis and the Os Ponti is 4° 56′, equal to 258 Englih miles, or nearly to 2810 Greek miles, or 2252 tadia. D'Anvi11e makes it to be 275 Greek miles, or about 2200 tadia, and Faden's map and Laurie's chart agree nearly herewith. But Arrowmith's chart differs coniderably, making the difference to be no more than 4° 11′ of Long. and 1° 7′ of Lat. equal nearly to 226 Englih miles, or 1974 tadia nearly. This place is decribed as a projecting cape by Apollonius.

From Carambis to the promontory Zephyrium 60 tadia. From Zephyrium to Abonitichos 150 tadia. Ptolemy places a city called Callitratia half way between Zephyrium and Abonitichos, but I do not find any mention of it elewhere. Tournefort ays, that there is till a place of the name of Abono in that ituation. The maps remark a catle in ruins near the place. Abonitichos is twice mentioned by Lucian, once in the Pudomantis, and again
