CANDIA

CANDIA, the modern name of Crete, an island situated in

in the Mediterranean sea, between $22^\{\backslash circ\}$ and $27^\{\backslash circ\}$ E. long. and between $35^\{\backslash circ\}$ and $36^\{\backslash circ\}$ N. lat.

There is no river of any consequence in the whole island, which is watered by a multitude of rivulets; whereof Lethe is one. Here too is mount Ida, so much celebrated in the writings of the ancients.
