458 plint's KATUEAL HISTOET. [Book V. 



On passing Telmessus we come to the Asiatic or Carpa- 

 thian Sea, and the district -^'liich is properly called Asia. 

 Agrippa has divided this region into two parts ; one of which 

 he has bounded on the east by Phrygia and Lycaonia, on the 

 west by the ^gean Sea, on the south by the Egyptian Sea, 

 and on the north by Paphlagonia, making its length to be 

 473 miles and its breadth 320. The other part he has 

 bounded by the Lesser Armenia on the east, Phrygia, Ly- 

 caonia, and Pamphylia on the west, the province of Pontus 

 on the north, and the Sea of Pamphylia on the south, making 

 it 575 miles in length and 325 in breadth.

Upon the adjoining coast is Caria\ then Ionia, and beyond 

 it ^olis. Caria surrounds Doris, which lies in the middle, 

 and runs down on both sides of it to the sea. In it" is the 

 Promontory of Pedalium^, the river Glaucus"*, into which 

 the Telmedium^ discharges itself, the towns of Dsedala®, 

 Crya^, peopled by fugitives, the river Axon^, and the town 

 of Calynda^. 



small stream that flows into the Horzoom Tchy. In B. xxxr. c. 17, Bliny 

 mentions a kind of chalk found in the vicinity of this place. Its ruins 

 are still to be seen, but they are not striking. 



^ In the south-west corner of Asia Minor, bounded on the north and 

 north-east by the mountains Messagis and Cadmus, dividing it from 

 Lydia and Phrygia, and adjoining to Phrygia and Lycia on the south-east.

3 Now Cape Grhinazi. It was also called Artemisium, from the temple 

 of Artemis or Diana situate upon it. 



^ Discharging itself into the bay of Telraissus, now Makri. 



^ "Telmissus" is the reading here in some editions. 



^ Situate in the district of Caria called Persea. It was also the name 

 given to a movmtainous district. In Hoskyn's map the ruins of Dsedala 

 are placed near the head of the Gulf of Glaucus, on the west of a small 

 river called Inegi Chai, probably the ancient Ninus, where Deedalus was 

 bitten by a water-snake, in consequence of which he died. 



7 On the Gulf of Glaucus : Stephanus however places it in Lycia. 

 Mela speaks only of a promontory of this name. 



* Leake places this river immediately west of the Gulf of Glaucus. 



^ Placed by Strabo sixty stadia from the sea, west of the Gulf of 

 Glaucus, and east of Carinus. Its site is uncertain, but it may possibly 

 be the place discovered by Fellows, which is proved by inscriptions to 

 have been called Cadyanda, a name otherwise unknown to us. Tliis Hes
