an island of the Archipelago, to the west of Mytilene, to the north-east of Nigropent, and to the south-east of Sciatii. It is 15 miles in length, and 8 in breadth. It is a mountainous country, but has no mines. The vines make the beauty of the island, and the wine is excellent; nor do the natives want wood. There is but one village; and that is built on a rock, which runs up like a sugar-loaf, and is 10 miles from the harbour of St George. The inhabitants are all Greeks, the eadi being the only Turk among them.
