TIPARENUS
TIPARENUS an island off the coast of Hermionis in Argolis, mentioned only by Pliny (
4.12. s. 19).
It is frequently identified with
Spétzia; but Leake remarks that Tiparenus has no appearance of a Greek name, and conjectures that it is an error for Tricarenus, the same as the Tricrana of Pausanias (
2.34.8) and the modern
Trikhiri. (Leake,
Morea, vol. ii. p. 465; Ross,
Wanderungen in Griechenland, vol. ii. p. 21).
