The navigation around Ionia along the coast is about 3430 stadia. It is a considerable distance, on account of the gulfs, and of the peninsular form for the most, part of the country, but the length in a straight line is not great. The distance, for example, from Ephesus to Smyrna is a journey in a straight line of 320 stadia; to MetropolisJenikoi. is 120 stadia, and the remainder to Smyrna; but this distance by sea is little less than 2200 stadia.
