Sailing from Leucas, they made land at the part of the continent opposite Corcyra.

They anchored in the harbour of Chimerium, in the territory of Thesprotis, above which, at some distance from the sea, lies the city of Ephyre, in the Elean district.

By this city the Acherusian lake pours its waters into the sea.

It gets its name from the river Acheron, which flows through Thesprotis and falls into the lake.

There also the river Thyamis flows, forming the boundary between Thesprotis and Kestrine; and between these rivers rises the point of Chimerium.
