text:
Absyrtides or Apsyrtides or Apsirtides was a collective name of two islands off the coast of Illyricum – Cres and Lošinj, which were almost attached. The islands were named after Absyrtus, who according to one tradition, was slain here by his sister Medea and by Jason, while according to another story because his dead body was drawn by the waves to the islands. Ptolemy mentions only one island, Apsorrus (Ἄψορρος), on which he places two towns Crepsa (Κρέψα) and Apsorrus.
