Note:
Mothone (and its cognates) is an authentic alternative for
Methone, a fortress on the SW coast of
Messenia in the Peloponnese (Greece). The o-version doubtless recommended itself as a way of avoiding confusion with the better-known city of
Methone -- present-day Nevestiki -- in the NW Aegean (
mu 433,
mu 434).
