ΑΝΑΒΑΛΟΣ (Πηγή) ΛΕΡΝΑ
Πηγή πόσιμου νερού μέσα στη θάλασσα (Παυσ. 8,7,2).
To the S. of Kyveri begins the rugged road across the mountains, anciently called Anigraea (Anigraia), running along the west into the plain of Thyrea. (Paus. ii. 38. § 4, seq.) Shortly before descending into the Thyreatic plain, the traveller arrives opposite the Anavolos (Anabolos), which is a copious source of fresh water rising in the sea, at a quarter of a mile from the narrow beach under the cliffs. Leake observed that it rose with such force as to form a convex surface, and to disturb the sea for several hundred feet round. It is evidently the exit of a subterraneous river of some magnitude, and thus corresponds with the Dine (Dine) of the ancients, which, according to Pausanias (viii. 7. § 2), is the outlet of the waters of the Argon Pedion in the Mantinice. (Leake, vol. ii. p. 469, seq.; Ross, p. 148, seq.)

ΑΡΓΟΛΙΣ (Αρχαία περιοχή) ΠΕΛΟΠΟΝΝΗΣΟΣ
(Lukone), a mountain of Argolis, on the road from Argos to Tegea. (Paus. ii. 24.
§ 6.)
ΕΡΜΙΟΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΡΓΟΛΙΔΑ
A mountain near the city of Hermione in Argolis, between which and Mt Pron the
road ran from Hermione to Halice. It was subsequently called Coccygium, because
Zeus was said to have been here transformed into a cuckoo; and on its summit was
a temple of Zeus Coccygius. (Paus. ii. 36. § 1, 2; Leake, Peloponnesiaca, p. 288;
Curtius, Peloponnesos, vol. ii. p. 463.)
ΗΡΑΙΟΝ (Αρχαίο ιερό) ΑΡΓΟΣ - ΜΥΚΗΝΕΣ
River of Argolis.
Acrae (Arkaia), a mountain in Argolis, opposite the Heraeum, or great temple of Hera. (Paus. ii. 17. § 2; Leake, Morea, vol. ii. p. 393, Peloponnesiaca, p. 263.)
ΚΥΒΕΡΙ (Κωμόπολη) ΛΕΡΝΑ
Apobathmi, (Apobathoi), a small place in Argolis, near the frontiers of Cynuria, was said to have been so called from Danaus landing at this spot. (Paus. ii. 38. § 4.) The surrounding country was also called Pyramia (Puramia), from the monuments in the form of pyramids found here. (Plut. Pyrrh. 32; Ross, Reisen im Peloponnes, p. 152.)
District of Argolis
The road (from Argolis) to Thyrea and Sparta is the same as the one to Tegea, till it reaches... Lerna. (Paus. ii. 36. § 6, seq.) After leaving Lerna, the road passes by Genesium, and the place called Apobathmi, where Danaus is said to have landed, in the neighbourhood of the modern village of Kyveri. To the S. of Kyveri begins the rugged road across the mountains, anciently called Anigraea (Anigraia), running along the west into the plain of Thyrea. (Paus. ii. 38. § 4, seq.) Shortly before descending into the Thyreatic plain, the traveller arrives opposite the Anavolos (Anabolos), which is a copious source of fresh water rising in the sea...

Genesium (Genesion), a place in the Argeia upon the Argolic gulf, S. of Lerna, and N. of the mountain pass, called Anigraea, leading into the Thyreatis. (Paus. ii. 38. § 4.) Pausanias, in another passage (viii. 7. § 2), calls the place Genethlium (Genethlion), and says less correctly that near it was the spring of fresh water rising in the sea, called Dine; whereas this spring of fresh water is to the S. of the Anigraea. Near this place Danaus is said to have landed. No remains of Genesium have been found, but it must have stood near the village of Kyveri. (Leake, Morea, vol. ii. pp. 477, 480; Boblaye, Recherches, &c. p. 48; Ross, Reisen im Peloponnes, p. 152; Curtius, Peloponnesos, vol. ii p. 371.)

ΤΡΟΙΖΗΝΙΑ (Αρχαία περιοχή) ΠΕΛΟΠΟΝΝΗΣΟΣ
Aristerae (Aristerai), a small island off the coast of Troezenia, near the Scyllaeum
promontory. (Paus. ii. 34. § 8; Plin. iv. 12. s. 19.)
Pityousa (Pituousa or Pituoussa, a contr of Pituoessa), literally, abounding in
pine-trees. An island off the promontory Scyllaeum, or Bucephala, in Troezenia
in Argolis. (Paus. ii. 34. § 8.) Pliny mentions (iv. 12. s. 19) an island Pityusa
in the Argolic gulf, but from the order in which it occurs in Pliny, it would
seem to be a different island from the preceding.
