Bean and Cook argued that this makes no sense ιf the Triopion and Knidos are, in effect, at the same point on the long *claw-like* promontory.

διχαλωτή χερσόνησος


Explanation:
Ή χερσόνησος σαν τη δαγκάνα του κάβουρα.

Αν δώσουμε το βάρος στο "point" ενός "long promontory", τότε δεν είναι ακρωτήρι το promontory. Ακρωτήρι είναι το point (ίσως). Και επειδή η χερσόνησος είναι δισχιδής, λέω τα παραπάνω.
