ANDEUS Maris ^gsei.<br />

Note,—<br />

Andrus, though one <strong>of</strong> the largest islands in the ^gsean, seems to have had no more than one<br />

city coining money; its site is now called Paledpoli, and preserves remains <strong>of</strong> an artificial port. The<br />

natural harbour <strong>of</strong> this, the western side <strong>of</strong> the island, was at Favpiov, which preserves its ancient<br />

name. This place received the Roman fleet when, being in alliance <strong>with</strong> Attains against Philip, son<br />

<strong>of</strong> Demetrius, the Romans besieged the capital <strong>of</strong> Andrus in the year B.C. 200 (Liv. 31, 46). The<br />

modern towns are at Kastro and Kordio on the eastern side, both probably ancient sites.<br />

M 15-1 Diota. B. Quad. inc. divided into six parts.
