Histories

The town of +Trachis [22.55,38.8] (Perseus) Trachis is five furlongs away from this Black river. Here is the greatest distance in all this region between the sea and the hills on which +Trachis [22.55,38.8] (Perseus) Trachis stands, for the plain is twenty-two thousand plethra in extent.[*](This must be a measure not of length but of superficial extent: more than 5000 acres.) In the mountains which hem in the Trachinian land there is a ravine to the south of +Trachis [22.55,38.8] (Perseus) Trachis, through which the river Asopus flows past the lower slopes of the mountains.
