ut off from the mainland, but was again joined to it by the vast bodies of sand accumulated through the action of the winds. This spot is called DioryctosFrom the Greek word diorukto\s, a "foss" or "trench.", and is three stadia in length: on the peninsula is the town of Leucas, formerly called NeritusIt probably had this name from the circumstance of the inhabitants of Nericus being removed thither by the Corinthians under Cypselus. The remains of Leucas, which was ravaged by the Romans B.C. 197, are still to be seen.. We next come to AlyziaIts remains are still to be seen in the valley of Kandili, south of Vonitza., StratosPouqueville says that very extensive and perfect ruins of this place are to be seen near the village of Lepenou., and ArgosThis famous city was deserted on the foundation of Nicopolis by Augustus.

Pliny the Elder, The Natural History (ed. John Bostock, M.D., F.R.S., H.T. Riley, Esq., B.A.), BOOK VII.

In enumerating the honours conferred upon him, the numbers are given somewhat differently in c. 20; thirty spoils of enemies slain, forty donations from the generals, two mural and eight civic crowns.—B. But in all matters of this nature, although valour may effect much, fortune does still more. No person living, in my opinion at least, ever excelled M. Sergius,M. Sergius Silus. He was one of the city prætors B.C. 197. although his great-grandson, Catiline, tarnished the honours of his name. In his second campaign he lost his right hand; and in two campaigns he was wounded three and twenty times; so much so, that he could scarcely use either his hands or his feet; still, attended by a single slave, he afterwards served in many campaigns, though but an invalided soldier. He was twice taken prisoner by Hannibal, (for it was with no ordinary enemy that he would engage,) and twice did he escape from his captiv
