Demosthenes 23.166, Alopekonnesos was located on a headland running out towards
Imbros, a long way from Thrace; a place swarming with robbers and pirates. See Isaac (1986), pp. 189-91. For the Chersonese (the present-day Gelibolu/Gallipoli peninsula), which forms the European side of the Hellespont straits, see Isaac (1986), pp.159-197.
