Pity a better name could not have been found for so fine, central,
capital a site. The associations are now all wrong. What had Dionysius
or Archimedes to do here? It was Atotarho Garangula, Dekanifora,
Ontiyaka, and their kindred, who made the place famous. Onondaga
would have been a far better appellation. The Indians called the lake
and its basin of country together Gan-on-do-a. Salt Point, or the
Saline, sounded to me as if, abating syllibants, it might be written
Ka-ji-ka-do.
