in Dalmatia (see DALMATIA), supposed by some to be the Aranzona, and by others the Stilupi of the ancients, though probably it has no connection with either the one or the other. It was purchased in 1410 by the republic of Venice, for 5000 ducats, and some pieces of land besides. Its fortres, which was seated on a rock, perpendicularly cut all round, and defervely reckoned impregnable before the use of artillery, was taken by Solliman in 1524, but soon after restored to the dominion of Venice. At present, no traces of its fortification remain, and it is only a bare and isolated mass.
