PEDA´LIUM
PEDA´LIUM (
Πηδάλιον), a promontory in the south-east of Caria, forming the southernmost point of the western coast of the Sinus Glaucus. (Pomp. Mela, 1.16;
Plin. Nat. 5.29;
Stadiasm. Mar. Magn. § § 228, 233, 234.) Strabo (
xiv. p.651) gives to the same promontory the name of Artemisium, from a temple of Artemis, which stood upon it ; its modern name is
Bokomadhi. (Leake,
Asia Minor, p. 223, foil.)
