hypothesis ; whereas the explanation now offered has a strong analogy to sup- 
port it. 
A few words more on the subject of the medals, which Pellerin has cited, with 
the epigraph ANTIOXEON . TON . EIIT. KAAAIPOHI. In explanation of 
these three suppositions have been advanced : the first is, that the Antiocheians 
here mentioned were those of Edessa; the second, that a town called Antiocheia 
had formerly existed in the neighbourhood of the Damascene Chrysorhoas, here 
called Callirhoé ; the third is that of the learned numismatist himself, who fixes 
these Antiocheians in the district to the eastward of the Jordan, famous for the 
thermal springs called, both by Pliny* and Josephus, Callirhoé. It lies not within 
my province to determine which of these suppositions is most entitled to credit ; 
but if there be any foundation for the second, it might at once be received as af- 
fording a satisfactory resolution of our present difficulty.

The inconsiderable town (zroAiyviov) of Ere, which is mentioned by Strabot 
as situated on the road from Teos to Hrythre, appears to have lain on the coast, 
so that Stvri-hissar can have no claim to be accounted its representative, and 
Erda-keut in the neighbourhood of the latter, on the road from it to Viirla (Cla- 
zomene ), as little. The conjecture in the memoir as to Chalcis is very uncertain, 
as in all likelihood this site has been removed in the ordinary maps considerably 
to the eastward of its true position. Its name seems to imply that it must have 
been situated in the territory of the Chalcideans : now this lay towards the west 
from Cherreide, whereas Sivri-hissar lies eastward. The Geographer Man- 
nert§ has, however, expressed it as his opinion that the latter place is situated 
Chalcidensium loco, that is, of the XaAxdets mentioned by Strabo.|| 
It is highly probable that Sivri-hissdr occupies the place of one of the zupyoe 
(corresponding to the Attic djj0c) into which the territory of Teos was partitioned, 
may be added Alabanda, unless we adopt Eckhel’s solution of the numismatic difficulty which Pel- 
lerin thought he had removed by the aid of the geographer Stephanus; see Doctr. N. V. vol. ii, 
p- 572. But this accession to the number in no wise assists us in clearing up the obscurity with re- 
spect to the Chrysorhoate.
