15, 16. came the next day over against Chios--now Scio: one of the most beautiful of those islands between which and the coast the sail is so charming. They appear not to have touched at it.
      next day we arrived--"touched" or "put in."
      at Samos--another island coming quite close to the mainland, and about as far south of Chios as it is south of Lesbos.
      tarried--for the night.
      at Trogyllium--an anchorage on the projecting mainland, not more than a mile from the southern extremity of the island of Samos.
      next day we came to Miletus--on the mainland; the ancient capital of Ionia, near the mouth of the Meander.
