The "Locris" (Λοκρίδα) mentioned here refers to the territory of Locri Epizephyrii in Southern Italy (Magna Graecia), rather than Locris in central Greece.
- 3.99.1περιπόλιον
A noun denoting a "guard-post," "outpost," or "patrol fort" established near borders or coasts. It is cognate with the verb περιπολέω ("to patrol" or "to go round").
