came the next day over against Chios - now Scio: one of the most beautiful of those islands between which and the coast the sail is so charming. They appear not to have touched at it.
next day we arrived - “touched” or “put in.”
at Samos - another island coming quite close to the mainland, and about as far south of Chios as it is south of Lesbos.
tarried - for the night.
at Trogyllium - an anchorage on the projecting mainland, not more than a mile from the southern extremity of the island of Samos.
next day we came to Miletus - on the mainland; the ancient capital of Ionia, near the mouth of the Meander.
