EubœaNow called Eubœa, as also Egripo, or Negropont,—a corruption of
the former word and "pont," "a bridge." itself has also been rent away from Bœotia; the
channel of the Euripus, which flows between them, being so
narrow as to admit of the opposite shores being united by
a bridgeHardouin speaks of this as existing in his time, 1670, and being 250
feet in length. It is supposed to have been first constructed about
B.C.
411, for the purpose of uninterrupted communication with Bœotia.. At the south, this island is remarkable for its
two promontories, that of GeræstusNow Capo Mandili., which looks towards
Attica, and that of CaphareusNow Kavo Doro, or Xylofago., which faces the Hellespont;
on the north it has that of CenæumNow Lithadha, with a mountain 2837 feet above the sea.. In no part does
this island extend to a greater breadth than forty miles,
while it never contracts to less than two. In length it
runs along the whole coast of Bœotia, extending from
Attica
