Ἄμπελος

Ampelos (Ἄμπελος), a. promontory at the extremity of the peninsula Sithonia in Chalcidice in Macedonia, called by Herodotus the Toronaean promontory. It appears to correspond to the modern C Kartáli, and Derrhis, which is nearer to the city of Torone, to C. Dhrépano. (Hdt. 7.122; Step. B. s.v. Ptol. 3.13.12.)
