LOCRIIS, a country of Achaia in Greece; twofold, and divided by mount Parnassus. The Hither was occupied by the Locri Ozole, called also Zephyrii, or Western, contained between Ætolia and Phocis, beginning at Naupactum, and running in a narrow strip of land, scarce 200 stadia, along the sea to the borders of the Phocenses. The Farther Locriis lay beyond Parnassus, running out towards Thermopyle, and reaching to the Euripus of Eubœa; occupied by the Locri Opuntii, who dwelt on the Eubœan sea; and the Epinemidii, who occupied mount Cnemis (Strabo); and these two were the Eastern Locri.
