ME´GARIS
ME´GARIS a small island on the coast of Campania, mentioned by Pliny (
3.6. s. 12), who places it between Pausilypus and Neapolis; it can therefore be no other than the islet or rock now occupied by the
Castel dell' Ovo. [
NEAPOLIS] It is evidently the same which is called by Statius Megalia. (
Stat. Silv. 2.2. 80.)
