with a town of the same name. Again, on the coast we 

 meet with Antanclros\ formerly called Edonis, and after 

 that Cimmeris and Assos, also called Apollonia. The town 

 of Palamedium also formerly stood here. The PromontorT 

 of Lecton"" separates -3!^olis from Troas. In ^'Eolis there 

 was formerly the city of Polymedia, as also Chrysa, and a 

 second Larissa. The temple of Smintheus^ is still standing ; 

 Colone'* in the interior has perished. To Adramyttium 

 resort upon matters of legal business the Apolloniatae*, 

 whose town is on the river Rhyndacus^, the Erizii'', the 

 Miletopolitse^, the Poemaneni^, the Macedonian Asculacte, 

 the Polichnaei^", the Pionitae^\ the Cilician Mandacadeni, 

 and, in Mysia, the Abrettini*'-, the people known as the 

 Hellespontii^^, and others of less note.

1 Now Antandro, at the head of the Gulf of Adramyttium. Aristotle 

 also says that its former name was Edonis, and that it was inhabited by 

 a Thracian tribe of Edoni. Herodotus as well as Aristotle also speak of

 of a symbol wliich recorded the etymon of that name, the mouse which 

 lay at the foot of the wooden figiire, the work of 8coi)as. Accoriling to 

 an ancient tradition, Apollo had lus name of Smintheus givi-n him as 

 being the mouse-destroyer, for, accorduig to Apion, the meaning of Smin- 

 theus was a " mouse," 



^ AccorcUng to tradition this place was in early times the residence of 

 Cycnus, a Tlu-acian prince, -who possessed the adjoining country, and the 

 island of Tenedos, opposite to which Colone was bituatc on the mainland. 

 Pliny however here places it in the interior.

 name, the Apolloniatis of Strabo. Its remains are very inconsiderable.
