The ‘Kothon’ at Motya was first explored in the early 1900s by the Anglo-Sicilian pioneer archaeologist Joseph Whitaker (Pace Reference Pace1915). Whitaker mistook a channel leading from the basin as a means of accessing the sea, consequently identifying the basin as harbour, which he labelled a “Carthaginian cothon” (Whitaker Reference Whitaker1921: 188–93)

More general discussion and description of Whitaker here - [archive.org]

The "cothon" receives particular mentions on pp. 19, 132, 166, 170 (photo), 175 and 189.
