History
The name "Lametikos Kolpos" is given by Aristotle in a passage of the Politics to the body of water into which the river Lametus (modern Amato in Calabria, Italy) flows, i.e., the modern-day Gulf of Saint Euphemia (Italian: Golfo di Santa Eufemia or Golfo di Sant'Eufemia). Other ancient sources provide several other names for the same modern gulf, but BAtlas treated this one as separate, placing the label for "Lametikos Kolpos" in the north in the immediate vicinity of the river mouth and the other primary label (Vibonensis Sinus) more centrally in the southern half.
