Mothone (and its cognates) is an authentic alternative for Methone, a fortress on the SW coast of Messenia in the Peloponnese (Greece). The o-version doubtless recommended itself as a way of avoiding confusion with the better-known city of Methone -- present-day Nevestiki -- in the NW Aegean (mu 433, mu 434).
