a small island in the Mediterranean sea, near the coast of Epirus, and in European Turkey. It lies south of Corfu, and is subject to Venice.

PACIFIC ocean, that vast ocean which separates Asia from America. It is called Pacific, from the moderate weather the first mariners who sailed in it met with between the tropics: and it was called South Sea, because the Spaniards crossed the isthmus of Darien from north to south, when they first discovered it; tho' it is properly the Western ocean, with regard to America.
