ΑΣΙΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΟΡΩΝΗ
Eth. Asinaios, Asineus. A town in Messenia, which was built by the
Dryopes, when they were expelled from Asine in the Argeia, as related above. (Pans.
ll. cc.) It stood on the western side of the Messenian gulf, which was sometimes
called the Asinaean gulf, from this town (Asinai_os kolpos, Strab. viii. p. 359;
Asinaeus Sinus, Plin. iv. 5. s. 7). Asine was distant 40 stadia north of the promontory
Acritas, 40 stadia from Colonides (Pans. iv. 34. § 12), 15 miles from Methona,
and 30 miles from Messene (Tab. Peut.). Its site is now occupied by Koroni, which
is situated upon a hill jutting out into the sea above C. Gallo (the ancient Acritas).
The ancient town of Corone was situated further north; and it has been reasonably
conjectured that the inhabitants of Corone removed from their town to the deserted
site of Asine, and carried with them their ancient name,--such a migration of
names not being uncommon in Greece.
