Search results for delta,1416 in Adler number:
Greek display:    
Headword: *douli/xios
Adler number: delta,1416
Translated headword: Doulichios, Doulichion, Dolicha, Doliche, Dulichium
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
An island [of that name].
Greek Original:
*douli/xios: nh=sos.
Notes:
One of the Echinades group, off Acarnania (NW Greece). The masculine form of the name given here is a mistake; it was Doulichion (Homer, Strabo, Pausanias, Stephanus of Byzantium), when not Dolicha/Doliche.
NF adds: Doulichion in Homer seems to be a substantial island and (controversially; cf. Strabo 10.2.10, 14, 19) may refer to Akarnania, which may have been cut off (or virtually cut off) from the mainland in earlier times.
