LOCRI Opuntii.<br />

Note.—Strabo (p. 425) divides the Locri <strong>of</strong> Greece Proper into the Hesperii or Western occupying<br />

Naupactus and the maritime country adjacent to that part <strong>of</strong> the coast <strong>of</strong> the Corinthian Gulf, and<br />

the Locri Trp<strong>of</strong> Eu/Joiav or Eastern Locri, which were subdivided into Opuntii and Epicnemidii.<br />

These had been separated from each other by the territory <strong>of</strong> Daphnus, belonging to Phocis, but<br />

which city had been destroyed before the time <strong>of</strong> Strabo (p. 424). Both the divisions <strong>of</strong> the Eastern<br />

Locri were separated from the Hesperii by Mt. Parnassus and Doris.— V. <strong>Numismata</strong> Hellenica,<br />
