its original name was the City of Zeus, and it was 

 afterwards called llhoas. The rest of the peoples 

 belonging to the same jurisdiction whom it may not 

 be amiss to mention are the HydreHtae, Themisones 

 and HierapoUtae. Another centre has received its 

 name from Synnas ; it is the centre for the Lycaones, 

 Appiani, Corpeni, Dorylaei, Midaei, Juhenses and 

 15 other peoples of no note. A third jurisdiction 

 centres at Apamea, previously called Celaenae, and 

 tlien Cybotos ; Apamea is situated at the foot of

 the Marsyas here emerges from underground, and 

 buries itself again a httle later. Aulocrene is the 

 place where Marsyas had a contest in flute-playing 

 with Apollo : it is the name given to a gorge 10 miles

 Pelteni and Silbiani ; and there are nine remaining 

 tribes of no note.

 Alexander the Great, Theangela, Side, Medmassa, 

 Uranium, Pedasum and Telmisum ; the last is 

 situated between two bays, those of Ceramus and 

 lasus. Next we come to Myndus and thc former site 

 of Old Myndus, Nariandos, Neapolis, Caryanda, the 

 free town Termera, BargyHa and lasus, the town 

 that gives its name to the bay. Caria is especially 

 distinguished for the famous Hst of places in its 

 interior, for here are Mylasa, a free town, and
