Upper Larymna

Some scholars conclude from the preceding statements that the more ancient town was the Locrian (Upper) Larymna, situated at a spot called Anchoe by Strabo, where the Cephissus emerged from its subterranean channel.

Upper Larymna, though it had joined the Boeotian League, continued to be frequently called the Locrian, on account of its ancient connection with Locris.

These ruins, which are called Kastri, like those of Delphi, are situated on the shore of the Bay of Larmes on a level covered with bushes ten minutes to the left of the mouth of the Cephissus.

The sorus is high, with comparison to its length and breadth, and stands in its original place upon the rocks; there was an inscription upon it as well as some ornaments of sculpture which are now quite defaced.

The sea in the bay south of the ruins is very deep; hence, we ought probably to read in Pausanias[8] λιμὴν δέ σφίσιν ἐστὶν αθγχιβαθής instead of λίμνη, since there is no land-lake at this place.
