an island in the Mediterranean, to the west of the Syris 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. The country of Vibius Gallus the emperor, and of Volusianus. Now called Gerbi and Zarbi.
