Mention by Pliny
Pliny[3] mentions.....Next to these are the Chaculatæ; then the town of Sibi, by the Greeks called Apate42; the Arsi, the Codani, the Vadei, who dwell in a large town, the Barasasæi, the Lechieni, and the island of Sygaros43, into the interior of which no dogs are admitted, and so being exposed on the sea shore, they wander about there and are left to die.
42 A name which looks very much like "fraud," or "cheating," as Hardouin observes, from the Greek ἀπάτη.
