KARA-ALI-BEY
(“Maiandria”) S Albania.
On
a hill in marshy ground near the coast, inland from
Buthrotum, are remains of a powerful circuit wall with
massive well-cut blocks, similar to that at Phoinike and
built probably ca. 325-320 B.C. The name was attributed
to Trojans who settled here en route to Latium. Pliny
(
HN 4.1.4) mentions it as being on the coast of Epeiros;
it was probably on the Roman road, which followed the
coast.
