or Apia Julia, (Pliny); now Apt, in Provence, on the river Calavon, seven leagues to the north of Aix, and nine to the north of Avignon. In the Notitia it is called Civitas Abuteniana: Pliny reckons it among the Latin towns. That it was a colony, appears from an inscription on a stone found at Arles, (Sirmond). E. Long. 5.56.

Aptera, APTERA, (Strabo, Stephanus); Apteron, (Pliny); APTERIA, (Ptolemy): An inland town of Crete, whose port was Cifamus, on the west side of the island, (Strabo); 12 miles to the south of Sydonia towards the Montes Leuci, and as many from the Sinus Amphimales. So called from the Sirens, who, being there vanquished in song by the Mutes, stript themselves of their wings, and out of grief leaped into the sea, (Stephanus). There was a town of Lycia of the same name. E. Long. 25. Lat. 35. 50.
