The southern side, as well the Acarnanian as the Aetolian, is washed by the sea, forming the Corinthian Gulf, into which the Achelous empties itself. This river (at its mouth) is the boundary of the Aetolian and the Acarnanian coast. The Achelous was formerly called Thoas. There is a river of this name near Dyme,B. vi .iii. c. § iii. 11. as we have said, and another near Lamia.B. ix. c. v. § 10. We have also said,B. viii. c. ii. § 3. that the mouth of this river is considered by some writers as the commencement of the Corinthian Gulf.
2.2
The cities of the Acarnanians are, Anactorium, situated upon a peninsulaThe promontory bears the name C. Madonna, and the ruins of Anactorium are pointed out as existing at the bottom of the small bay of Prevesa. The modern town, Azio, which is not the ancient Actium, is near these ruins. near Actium, and a mart of Nicopolis, which has been built in our time; Stratus,Near Lepenu. to which vessels sail up the Achelous, a distance of more than 200 stadia; and $OeniadaeCorrection by Groskurd. Trigardon is given in the Austrian map as the ancient site of $Oeniadae, but this position does not agree with the text. is also on the banks of the river. The ancient city is not inhabited, and lies at an equal distance from the sea and from Stratus. The present city is at the distance of 70 stadia above the mouth of the river.

There are also other cities, Palaerus,Porto-fico according to D’Anville. Alyzia,Kandili, opposite the island Kalamo. Leucas,Santa Maura. the Amphilochian Argos,Neochori. and Ambracia:Arta, but the Austrian map gives Rogus as the site. most of these, if not all, are dependent upon Nicopolis.
2.2
Stratus lies half-way between Alyzia and Anactorium.This is an error either of the author or in the text. Groskurd proposes to read Antirrhium (Castel Rumeli) in place of Anactorium. Kramer proposes to follow Tzschucke, and to exchange the positions of the words Stratus and Alyzia in the text.
