About this book
The text says that in Zacynthus there is an illustration of the historical accuracy of Herodotus in the existence of some curious springs on the south-west, from which the water comes out mingled with pitch. Corfu or Corcyra is called, although not the largest, the most populous of the whole group. The text recalls the fact mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles that Paul spent a year and a half in Corinth with Aquila and Priscilla, in a house adjoining the synagogue.
New Corinth is described as a well-built little town of about 4000 inhabitants, founded fifty years ago, when the old town was destroyed by an earthquake, and as lying to the north-west of the ancient city. The text says that, no doubt, the language of Mr. Pallis’ translation was sometimes of a very homely character.
