Note:
The city intended was probably Messene (as indeed one manuscript has it), on the slopes of Mt.
Ithome in
Messenia, SW Greece. However, this Messene was usually spelled with a double sigma. There was another Mesene usually spelled with a single sigma, but this was a district (not city) of
Mesopotamia around Ktesiphon/
Seleukeia. See
Pliny 6.129 & 131.
