Cape Cnemides

Cape Cnemides of Knemides (Ancient Greek: Κνημῖδες; Greek: Κνημίς, romanized: Knemis or Knimis or Κνημίδος) is a spur of Mount Cnemis, running out into the sea, opposite the islands called Lichades and the Euboean promontory Cenaeum. Upon Cape Cnemides stood a fortress, also called Cnemides (or Cnemis),[1] distant 20 stadia from Thronium.[2][3][4]
