The surviving manuscript of Skylax reports a Methana in the Thyreatis plain on the Gulf of Argolis. The toponym is widely thought to be a corruption of Anthana/Anthane, known from other sources. This place "may have been one of two known coastal forts in the area ... probably Nisi Agiou Andrea" (Shipley's 2019 commentary on Skylax, page 129 note 46).
