PHILA

PHILA one of the small islands on the south coast of Gallia, which Pliny (3.5) enumerates between the Stoechades (Isles d'Hières) and Lero and Lerina (Les Lérins). Pliny's words are: “Tres Stoechades . . . Ab his Sturium, Phoenice, Phila : Lero et Lerina adversum Antipolim.” There seem to be no means of determining which of the islets between the Isles d Hières and Sainte Margucrite represent these three small islands of Pliny. [LERINA; LERON.]

[G.L]
