(Plin. Mela, U. oc.) Tbia gnlf was 72 miln in cJrcnit accoding lo Pliny, and was botmded by the proDNDloiy of Ichlhys aa the north, and by that of CyparisBinm m the aonth. Cyparisda waa the only (own of impoitance npcn the western coast li Mn. appeare to ban been inhalnled from the earhest to the latent times. It waa beaatifnlly atnaled nposi the sides tf one of the oSdioots of the range of moontains, which nm along this pirt at tlie Uea- lenian ccssL Upcn the narrow ennimit of the rocks now Dccuped by a GasUe built in the middle age^ stood the anrient acropolis. There is no baiWir ui«i the Meaeenian cost nortb i£ Pykia; hot Leaka remarks that the roadstead at Cypaiissia lewns to be the beat on Ihia part of tie coast ; and in anciimt times the town jsobably poeaeeeed an artificial bar- bonr, since traces cf a mole may sUll he acta npoB the scA-Hhore. This waa probably cmitnLCtad en the netoraticD of Hessoie by Kpamincndas ; fir it was necessary to pronde the ca[atal of the new state with a port, and no spot was » Buitkble tar this object as Cyjuissia. Hence we find " Ueaena and the haitwDi Cypariasia " mentjoned togather Ij Bi^lax (p. 16). Pantaniaa (bund in the town a tem^ cf Apollo, and one of Athena Cypaiissia. The town oontinaed to rain moo^ down to llie lima of Screra^ In the middle ages it was caBed Arta-^ Ha, a name which waa transftned &cin the interiv of the peninsnla to this place npcn the coat. It confirmed to bear tJiis name till ita dcstjoctioa by Ibrahim in IS25, and when rebuilt it resumed ita ancient nanw Cyparisaia, by which it ii now called. Some remains of andent walla may be traced ammd the nudem casllej and beW the castle on the skipa of the bill, near the church cf St. Geo^e, are som fiagmmts of tolnnms. On the acnth side cl the town, cioae to the so-ihore, a fine stream nuhea ont ik the irnk and fiawa into the sea j and a httia boTe is a basin with a spring of water, near which te some stones belonging to an ancient slractnre. 'his is the andent fonntain sacred to Diatjsos, rhich Pausaniaa perceired neat the entrance of tba ity, on the road &an Pyloa. Stei^ianna calls Cypuiasia a dty rf Triphylia, and Stiaba (nlL p. 349) also distjngniahta betwem the Triphylian and UesBeniaa Cyparisua, tnt m That antbarity we do not know.
