place called Inata on a river 24 M. P. E. of Lisia, and 32 M. P. W. of Hierapytna.
These distances agree well with the three or four hamlets known by the name Kasteliana,
derived from the Venetian fortress, Castle Belvedere, situated on a hill a little
to the N. of the villages. The goddess Eileithyia is said to have been worshipped
here, and to have obtained one of her epithets, from it.
