Abstract	:	Aynabakhtı is the Ottoman name for Lepanto (mod. Turk. İnebahtı; Gk. Naupaktos or Nafpaktos), which is a harbour town in southern Greece, located roughly five miles to the east of the Little Dardanelles, the narrows that separate the gulf of Patras and the gulf of Corinth. Because of its strategic location, it had been a naval base and arsenal since the seventh century B.C.E. Ruled by the Romans, Byzantines, and the Despotate of Epirus, among others, it was acquired in 1407 (or in 1404 according to some sources)
