After Mt. Corycus one comes to Halonnesos, a small island. Then to Argennum, a promontory of the Erythraean territory; it is very close to the Poseidium of the Chians, which latter forms a strait about sixty stadia in width.

Then one comes to a village Cybelia, and to a promontory Melaena, as it is called, which has a millstone quarry.
