It wasn't a misspelling as a mistake we made in inputting it, but it may be the case that the 't' is correct though. Strabo and Ptolemy call it Hekarompylos instead of Hekatompylos according to the reference I see in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography by William Smith (Hekarompylos, Strab. xi. p. 514; Ptol. i. 12. § 5, viii. 21. § 16) - on perseus.tufts.edu.Originally Posted by LCCinna

It seemed to us to be the more authentic spelling by this reference, but I'm betting now that that is a misread by the OCR software or something. I've pulled the books on the Barrington Atlas, and they just give the one spelling with the 't'. Be patient with us though - changing a town name is a real pain since scripts rely on visible town names often.
