Flanaticus Sinus

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

FLANATICUS SINUS(Plin. Nat. 3.19), or FLANONICUS (Φλανωνικὸς κόλπος, Steph. B. s. v.), the gulf on the N.W. coast of Liburnia, which derived its name from a people called the FLANATES(Plin. Nat. 3.21). There was a town called FLANONA(Plin. l. c.;Ptol. 2.16.2, Fianona), between Alvona and Tarsatica. It is now called Canal del Quarnéro, well known for its dangerous navigation.
