Argolicus Sinus
δ Ἀργολικὸς κόλπος
Argolicus Sinus (δ Ἀργολικὸς κόλπος), the gulf between Argolis and Laconia, but sometimes used, in a more extended sense, to indicate the whole sea between the promontory Malea in Laconia and the promontory Scyllaeum in Troezenia, thus including the Hermonicus Sinus. (Strab. viii. pp. 335, 368; Pol. 5.91; Ptol. 3.16.10; Plin. Nat. 4.5. s. 9.)
