CHAPTER II.
THE Peloponnesus resembles in figure the leaf of a plane
tree.For the same reason, at a subsequent period, it obtained the name of
Morea, in Greek (Moo|e/a) which signifies mulberry, a species or variety
of which tree bears leaves divided into five lobes—equal in number to the
five principal capes of the Peloponnesus. See book ii. ch. i. 30. Its length and breadth are nearly equal, each about
1400 stadia. The former is reckoned from west to east, that
is, from the promontory Chelonatas through Olympia and the
territory Megalopolitis to the isthmus; the latter from south
to north, or from Maliæ though Arcadia to Ægium.
The circumference, according to Polybius, exclusive of the
circuit of the bays, is 4000 stadia. Artemidorus however
adds to this 400 stadia, and if we include the measure of the
bays, it exceeds 5600 stadia. We have already said that the
isthmus at the road where they draw vessels over-land from
one sea to the other is 40 stadia across.
