ΜΙΛΑΤΖΟ (Πόλη) ΣΙΚΕΛΙΑ
Longanus (Longanos), a river in the N. of Sicily, not far from Mylae
(Milazzo), celebrated for the victory of Hieron, king of Syracuse, over the Mamertines
in B.C. 270 (Pol. i. 9 ; Diod. xxii. 13; Exc. H. p. 499, where the name is written
Loitanos, but the same river is undoubtedly meant). Polybius describes it as in
the plain of Mylae (en toi Mulaioi pedioi), but it is impossible to say, with
certainty, which of the small rivers that flow into the sea near that town is
the one meant. The Fiume di Santa Lucia, about three miles southwest of Milazzo,
has perhaps the best claim; though Cluverius fixes on the Flume di Castro Reale,
a little more distant from that city. (Cluv. Sicil. p. 303.)
