Tino
or TENOS, an island of Greece, in the nomarchy of the Cylcades; immediately S. E. of Andros; area, 81 square miles. It is 18 miles long by 8 broad, and is traversed by high moun- TINTORETTO II. tains, the terraced slopes of which yield wine, wheat, melons, figs, etc. Marble, in block or wrought into various kinds of vessels and ornaments, and silk, raw or made into gloves and stockings, are the chief exports. The chief town, Tino, on the S. coast, is the seat of a Roman Catholic bishop, has two Roman churches, and a small harbor. To the N. of it is the white marble church of Penagia Evangelistria, a famous resort of pilgrims. TINTAGEL (-tä'jel) HEAD, a cliff 300 feet high on the W. coast of Cornwall, about 22 miles W. of Launceston, and but 6 miles from Camelford-the Camelot of Arthurian legend. Partly on the mainland and partly on the so-called island, almost cut off by a deep chasm from the rest of the promontory, stand the imposing ruins of the castle where King Arthur held his court. His spirit still hovers around the scene of his splendor in the form of the red-legged chough, a beautiful Cornish bird already rare in Leland's time. The oldest part of the existing ruins is the keep, apparently of a Norman construction, but there need hardly be a doubt that a Saxon, and perhaps earlier a British stronghold, occupied the same site. The castle was still habitable in 1360, when we read of its being provisioned.
