ΜΑΣΗΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΡΑΝΙΔΙ
he Masetos, Eth Masetios. An ancient city in the district Hermionis,
in the Argolic peninsula, mentioned by Homer along with Aegina. In the time of
Pausanias it was used as a harbour by Hermione. (Hom. Il. ii. 562; Strab. viii.
p. 376; Paus. ii. 36. § 2; Steph. B. s. v.) It was probably situated on the western
coast of Hermionis, at the head of the deep bay of Kiladhia, which is protected
by a small island in front. The possession of this harbour on the Argolic gulf
must have been of great advantage to the inhabitants of Hermione, since they were
thus saved the navigation round the peninsula of Kranidhi: The French Commission,
however, place Mases more to the south, at port Kheli, which we suppose to have
been the site of Halice.

ΦΟΥΡΝΟΙ (Χωριό) ΚΡΑΝΙΔΙ
A valley W of the modern village of Phournoi in the S part of the region.
ΦΙΛΑΝΟΡΙΟΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΡΑΝΙΔΙ
A valley W of the modern village of Phournoi in the S part of the
region. It has been identified with the Philanoreia found in inscriptions; Pausanias
mentions Philanorion. About 200 m from the Argolic Gulf, the watchtower of a small
border fort is preserved to a height of several courses, with traces of adjoining
structures. The large blocks of coursed polygonal masonry suggest a date in the
late 5th or 4th c. B.C.
