LOCRIS, which we are now to describe, follows next in order.

It is divided into two parts, one of which is occupied by the Locri opposite Eubœa, and, as we have already said, formerly consisted of two bodies, situated one on each side of Daphnus. The Locri Opuntii had their surname from Opus,1 the capital; the Epicnemidii from a mountain called Cnemis.2 The rest are the Locri Hesperii, who are called also Locri Ozolæ. These are separated from the Locri Opuntii and Epicnemidii by Parnassus, which lies between them, and by the Tetrapolis of the Dorians. We shall first speak of the Opuntii.

1 The ruins of Opus are indicated as existing between Talanti and the sea.

2 A portion of the ridge of Œta, on the north-west of Talanti, now Chlomos.
