DAFNOUS (Ancient city) LOKRIDA
Daphnous: Eth. Daphnountios, Daphnousios. A city on the Euboean sea, originally
belonging to Phocis, which thus extended from the Corinthian gulf to the Euboean
sea. Its narrow territory separated the Locri Epicnemidii from the Locri Opuntii;
but it was afterwards assigned to the Opuntii. The town was in ruins in the time
of Strabo, who fixes its site by describing it as distant 20 stadia from Cynus
and 120 from Elateia, and as having a harbour.

TARFI (Ancient city) LOKRIDA
Eth. Tarphaios. A town of the Locri Epicnemidii, mentioned by Homer
(Il. ii. 533). It was situated upon a height in a fertile and woody country, and
was said to have derived its name from the thickets in which it stood. In the
time of Strabo it had changed its name into that of Pharygae (Pharugai), and was
said to have received a colony from Argos. It contained a temple of Hera Pharygaea.
It is probably the modern Pundonitza.
