ΜΥΡΣΙΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
Murtountion, called Myrsinus (Mursinos) by Homer, who mentions it
among the towns of the Epeii. It was a town of Elis, and is described by Strabo
as situated on the road from the city of Elis to Dyme in Achaia, at the distance
of 70 stadia from the former place and near the sea. Leake remarks that the last
part of the description must be incorrect, since no part of the road from Elis
to Dyme could have passed by the sea; but Curtius observes that Myrtuntium would
at one time have been near the sea-coast, supposing that the lagoon of Kotiki
was originally a gulf of the sea. The ruin near Kalotikos probably represents
this place.
