MELO´TIS
MELO´TIS a district of Triphylia in Epirus. (
Liv. 32.13.)
The names of Triphylia and Melotis, in connection with Epirus, occur only in Livy. Leake supposes that Melotis, which name indicates a sheep-feeding district, was probably the pastoral highlands around
Ostanítza, on the borders of Molossis and Atintania. (
