Darnis

Δάρνις

Darnis (Δάρνις; erroneously written in Ptolemy Δάρδανις; Ζαρινή, Stadiasm. p. 444: Derna), a city of Cyrenaica, on the coast, near the E. extremity of the country, is only mentioned by comparatively late writers, and, though a bishop's see, appears never to have been an important place. (Itin. Ant. pp. 68, 70; Amm. Marc. 22.16; Pacho, p. 96; Baith, p. 480.)
