MENINX, an island in the Mediterranean, to the west of the Syrtis Minor. Supposed by Strabo and Polybius to be Homer's country of the Lotophagi; and hence Ptolemy and Eratosthenes denominate the island Lotophagitis, with a cognominal town Meninx. It was the country of Vibius Gallus the emperor, and of Volusianus. Now called Gerbi and Zarbi.
