Stentoris Lacus

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

STE´NTORIS LACUS(Στεντορὶς λίμνη, Hdt. 7.58; Acropol. p. 64), a lake on the south-east coast of Thrace, formed by the Hebrus, and opening into the Aegean near the town of Aenos. Pliny (Plin. Nat. 4.11. s. 18) incorrectly places on it a STENTORIS PORTUS;and Mannert conjectures that perhaps the right reading in Herodotus (l. c.) is λιμένα, not λίμνην.
