 | | EUBOEA (pronounced Evvia in the modern language), EuRIPOS, or Negropont, the largest island of the Grecian archipelago. |
| | It is separated from the mainland of Greece by the Euboic Sea. |
| | In the partition of the Eastern empire by the Latins which followed that event the island was divided into three fiefs, the occupants of which ere long found it expedient to place themselves under the protection of the Venetian republic, which thenceforward became the sovereign power in the country. |
