Chelonatas (Chelonatas), a promontory of Achaia, and the most westerly
point of the Peloponnesus, distant, according to Pliny, two miles from Cyllene.
(Strab. viii. pp. 335, 338, 342; Paus. i. 2. § 4; Agathem. i. 5; Plin. iv. 5.
s. 6; Mel. ii. 3.) It has been disputed whether Chelonatas corresponds to C. Glarentza
(Klarentza) or to C. Tornese, both of them being promontories of the peninsula
of Khlemutzi. There can be little doubt, however, that C. Tornese, the most southerly
of the two, is the ancient Chelonatas, both because there is near it the small
island mentioned by Strabo, and because it is distant two miles from Glarentza,
the ancient Cyllene. It is probable, however, that the name Chelonatas was originally
given to the whole peninsula of Khlemutzi, from its supposed resemblance to a
tortoise. (Leake, Peloponnesiaca, p. 210.)

NAFPAKTOS (Ancient city) ETOLOAKARNANIA
Anticyra, a town in Locris, which most modern commentators identify with the Phocian Anticyra. Livy, however, expressly says (xxvi. 26) that the Locrian Anticyra was situated on the left. hand in entering the Corinthian gulf, and at a short distance both by sea and land from Naupactus; whereas the Phocian Anticyra was nearer the extremity than the entrance of the Corinthian gulf, and was 60 miles distant from Naupactus. Moreover Strabo speaks of three Anticyrae, one in Phocis, a second on the Maliac gulf, and a third in the country of the western Locri, or Locri Ozolae. Horace, likewise, in a well-known passage (Ars Poet. 300) speaks of three Anticyrae, and represents them all as producing hellebore. (Leake, Ibid. p. 543.)

RION (Ancient city) RIO
Panormus (Panormos: Eth. Panormites). A harbour of Achaia, 15 stadia E. of the
promontory of Rhium. The bay is now called Tekieh from a tekieh or tomb of a Turkish
saint, which formerly stood upon it. (Paus. vii. 22. § 10; Thuc. ii. 86; Polyb.
v. 1.02; Plin. iv. 5 ; Leake, Morea, vol. iii. p. 195.)
Anigrus (Anigros: Mavro-potamo, i. e. Black River), a small river in the Triphylian Elis, called Minyeius (Minueios) by Homer (Il. xi. 721), rises in Mt. Lapithas, and before reaching the Ionian sea loses itself near Samicum in pestilential marshes. Its waters had an offensive smell, and its fish were not eatable. This was ascribed to the Centaurs having washed in the water after they had been wounded by the poisoned arrows of Heracles. Near Samicum were caverns sacred to the nymphs Anigrides (Anigrides or Anigriades), where persons with cutaneous diseases were cured by the waters of the river. General Gordon, who visited these caverns in 1835, found in one of them water distilling from the rock, and bringing with it a pure yellow sulphur. The Acidas, which some persons regarded as the Iardanus of Homer, flowed into the Anigrus. (Strab.; Paus. v. 5.3, 7, seq. v. 6.3; Ov. Met. xv. 281; Leake, Morea, vol. i. pp. 54, 66, seq., Peloponnesiaca, pp. 108, 110; Ross, Reisen im Peloponnes, vol. i. p. 105.)
