Ossa. A mountain of Thessaly
in Thessaliotis. Its S extremity
touches mount Pelion ; its N
extremity touches the Peneus.
It commences, therefore, S of
the Peneus and the valley of
Tempe. m. n. Kissabo. i. 56. vii.
128, 129.

Othrys. A chain of mountains
in Thessaly ; it begins about
the NE corner of the country
of the Dolopes, N of the Sper-
chius : it extends from \V to E
along that river diverging in-
sensibly ; having reached nearly
the mouth of that stream it
bends N, and stretches from S
to N by E as far as the middle
of the W coast of the Pelasgic
gulf. This mountain shooting
into Phthiotis from S to N by
E, divides that country in two
parts, W and E. vii. 129.

Pactolus. A river which rises
in mount Tmolus, waters the
city of Sardis, and then falls
into the Hermus ; it once
brought down gold sand, but
had ceased to do so in the time

Pactyica. A country of Asia,
mentioned only by Herodotus ;
its situation is therefore un-
known, iii. 93. vii. 67.

Pactya. A town situate in the



E part of the Isthmus of the
Thracian Chersonesus, on the
Propontis. From Pactya to
Cardia is a distance of thirty-
six or forty stades. Miltiades
raised a wall on this space, in
order to preclude the Apsin-
thians from entering the Cher-
sonesus. vi. 36. m. n. Palaia

Padaei. An Indian tribe known
only by what Herodotus states
concerning them ; he places
them in the E part of India.
In the Sanscrit the Ganges is
called Padda; it is assumed
therefore that the Padaei inha-
bited on the banks of the
Ganges. Now the only people
known in antiquity, as deriving
their name from the Ganges,
were the Gangaridae; hence it
is inferred, that the Padaei and
Gangaridae were one and the
same people : now the Ganga-
ridae inhabited the E bank of
the mouth of the Ganges. See
Rennell, p. 310. If this con-
jecture is correct, and Hero-
dotus did, in fact, know the
real name of this distant tribe
at so early a period, it consti-
tutes a remarkable proof of his
astonishingly extensive and deep
research.

Paeania. There were two small
places in Attica of this name,
the Upper and the Lower :
they both belonged to the tribe
Pandionis. Their situation un-
determined, i. 60.

Paeonia. A small town of
Attica, above Lipsydrion, and
near mount Parnes. v. 62.

the Leaei, the Odomanti, the
Pseoplae, the Siropaeones. The
Paeonians near the Axius, the
Graaei, and the Leaei are not
mentioned by Herodotus; the
different nations mentioned in
v. 15, 16, are defined under
their respective names in this
Index.

Paeones about mount Pangaeus.
They could not be subdued by
the Persians. Their country
was called Phyllis 5 see that

Paeones of the lake Prasias.
They dwelt on the lake itself,
in houses standing on piles. See
Prasias.

Paeonic plain. It lies S of the
territory of Anthemus, and of
Bisaltia, at a small distance
W of Stagirus, and the Strymo-
nian gulf, W by S of the Syleus
plain. It extended likewise to
lake Prasias. Xerxes having
started from Acanthus on the
Strymonian gulf, crossed Pae-
onica to join his fleet at Therma.
vii. 124. v. 15.

Paeoplae. An extensive people
of Thrace, and one of the ten



Paeonian nations; they occupied
a country in the NW of Thrace,
between mount Pangaeus and
the Strymon, S of the Leaei, N
of the Doberes. There were
some likewise near lake Prasias,
Bisaltia, the Pzeonic plain, and
mount Dysorus. The Histo-
rian mentions both ; the former,
vii. 113. the latter, v. 15.

Paeum. A town of Arcadia, in
Peloponnesus, belonging to that
part called Azania. It pro-
bably was not far from the

Paesus. A town of the Helles-
pont, on the Asiatic side, be-
tween Lampsacus S, and Pa-
rium N. v. 117.

Paeti. A people of Thrace, \ of
the Apsinthii, E of the Hebrus,
W of the Melas, consequently
between the Hebrus and the
Melas. Xerxes crossed their
country before he arrived on
the territories of the Cicones
and Bistones. vii. 110.

Pagasae. A town of Magnesia,
on the W coast of the bottom
of the Pelasgic gulf, called like-
wise Pagasaean or Pagasitic
gulf. The Argonauts embarked
at this port for the conquest of
the golden fleece. The gulf is
now called gulf of Bolos, pro-
nounced Volos. The Turks call
it Kolos.

Pala. A town of the island of
Cephallenia, on the W coast of
a gulf bending inland on the S
part of the island. Polybius,
v. 5, calls it o n*Awf. m.

crosses Hylaea ; and falls after-
wardsintotheBorysthenes,alittle
above the mouth of that large

Paretaceni. A people of Media,
N of Persia ; NE of the Or-
thocorybantes ; W of Ecbatana
of the Magi. i. 101.

Paricanii.

1. Paricanii. These are taken
by Rennell, 270, to be the same
with the Paretaceni, the people
of the E province of Media,
which extends from Persis to
the Caspian straits. Larcher
places them between the Medes
and the Orthocorybantes ; SE
of the former ; NW of the
latter, iii. 92.

2. Paricanii. These com-
posed the seventeenth Satrapy
together with the Asiatic Ethi-
opians; these latter according
to Larcher are different from
the Eastern Ethiopians ; they
are the same. with the Colchians.

. See jEthiopes 1 . He therefore
infers that these Paricanii were
N of Colchis; between Cau-
casus and the Euxine. Ren-
nell, however, who does not
admit the difference between
the Asiatic and the Eastern
Ethiopians, places these Pari-
canii in the country of Gedrosia,

Parii. The inhabitants of the
island of Paros. See Paros.

Parium. A town of the Helles-

Parnassus. A mountain of Pho-
cis. It is situate NE of the
Crisaean gulf, SW of the river
Cephissus. Parnassus was con-
secrated to the Muses, to Apollo,
and to Bacchus : it is dry and
sterile, well clad .with firs, and
thrown about in glens ; beyond
those glens is found a plain,
seven or eight miles in circuit.
It is one of the highest moun-
tains in Europe ; it is distinctly
seen at Corinth, which is more
than eighty miles off; and were
it detached from other moun-
tains, like Athos, would be seen
at a still greater distance. It
is one long day's journey round,
and is inhabited only towards
the root, being dry and sterile.

It has several tops, like most
mountains, although the poets
assign only two to it, Hyampeus
and Nauplia.

Paroreatae. The inhabitants of
Parorea, a town of Arcadia, in
Peloponnesus. It was ten stades
from Zcetia, fifteen from Thyrea ;
W of the former, E of the latter.
The Paroreatae, however, of He-
rodotus dwelt in Messenia, as
is proved by the towns the
Minyans built in their country
after driving them out. iv. 148.

Pelasgi. A wandering and va-



gabond people, originally of the
country since called Argolis.
Pelasgus, youngest son of Ni-
obe, grandson of Phoroneus, and
great-grandson of Inachus, dis-
liking to live a private life, took
with him some -followers, to
whom he gave his own name ;
with their assistance he took
possession of Arcadia : soon af-
ter he passed into Thessaly.
The Pelasgi were driven from
Thessaly about 156 years after-
wards by another horde of ad-
venturers, who issued from Ar-
golis, and were headed by an-
other Pelasgus, from whom those
new adventurers took likewise
the name of Pelasgi. The
ancient Pelasgi withdrew into
Thesprotia : the new Pelasgi,
who had taken the place of the
ancient in Thessaly, were driven
from thence by Deucalion, about
1541 B.C. Some withdrew to
Dodona inThesprotia, and joined
the ancient Pelasgi ; from thence
they passed into Umbria : others
proceeded to Crete and Asia,
where they formed some small
states, which did not subsist
any length of time. They who
went to Umbria flourished there
about three centuries, when they
were driven away by the Tyr-
rhenians: the greatest part of
these Pelasgi fled into Attica,
but having been driven from
thence in consequence of their
overbearing conduct, they passed
over to Lemnos and other coun-
tries. They remained in pos-
session of that island 652 years,
but at last Miltiades forced
them to evacuate it, 510 years
B. C. The Pelasgi then dis-
persed into various countries ;
some were incorporated with
other nations, and became to-



Peneua.

S part, namely, Messenia W,
Laconia E ; two in the mid

E of Elis; two in the N part,
namely, Achaia W and Argolis

Pelusium. A. town of Egypt ; to-
wards the mouth of the canal;
more than twenty stades from
the sea. It is surrounded with
lakes and marshes ; it was
muddy and filthy ; hence Eze-
kiel, xxx. 15, 16, calls it Sin,
an Hebrew word answering to
the Greek wuXas, mud. It was
as the key of Egypt, on the side
of Phoenicia and Judaea ; hence
Ezekiel calls it the strength of
Egypt : " And I will pour my
" fury upon Sin, the strength
" of Egypt ; and I will cut off
" the multitude of No." From
its situation it was often an
object of attack. The mouth to
which it gave its name was the
seventh, and most E. Some
ruins are seen on its site, at a
place called Tineh. Al Farma,
or Farameh, is a modern town
at no great distance from it.

Peneus. A river of Thessaly :
it rises in mount Ptous, part of

two mountains, m. n. Salanbria:
its banks are thickly scattered
with laurel or bay ; hence the

daughter of Peneus, had been
metamorphosed into a bay tree.
Pentapolis.

1. Pentapolis of the Dorians.
It comprised the towns of Lin-
dus, lalyssus, Camiros in the
island of Rhodes, Cos in the
island of the same name, Cni-
dus in Caria. It was formerly
called Hexapolis, because Hali-
carnassus was then comprised
in it. i. 144.

2. Pentapolis of Libya. This
name was given to Cyrenaica,
on account of its five principal
towns, Cyrene, Berenice, Ar-
sinoe, Ptolemais, Apollonia.
These five towns did not all
exist in the time of Herodotus ;
and Cyrenaica was not then
known by the name of Penta-
polis. Berenice took the place
of the Euesperitae, Arsinoe that
of Tauchira ; Ptolemais was
built in the vicinity of Barce,
and being a sea port, Barce
was gradually neglected ; Apol-
lonia was in the sequel almost
forgotten when the town of
Sozusa had been built at a
small distance from It on the
sea side.

Those towns though much
degraded are still in existence,
and even their ancient names
are still recognizable : they are
called Curin, Bernic, Tolometa ;
Arsinoe has resumed its ancient



name, and is called Taukera;
Barce near Ptolemais is called
Barca; and Apollonia, better
known afterwards by the name
of Sozusa, is now called Sosush.

Percote. A town of the Helles-
pont; between Abydos S and
Lampsacus N. It was one of
the two towns given to The-
mistocles by Artaxerxes. v.
