Isn't Mytilene a city while the island itself is called Lesvos?

Technically yes, but they're used interchangeably nowdays. Plus, the official transcript mentions "Mytilene" so I wanted to follow that. Although I use Lesvos myself.

Can confirm, I never realized until now that Mytilene is just the city, I've always wondered why we have two names for the island.
