 fi*om its harbour lUum, a town exempt from tribute, 

 the scene of all the famous story. Outside the bay 

 are the Rhoetean coasts, occupicd by the towns of 

 Rhocteum, Dardanium and Arisbe. Formerly there 

 was also the toAvn of Achillcon, founded near to the 

 tomb of Achilles by the people of Mitylene and 

 aftervvards rebuilt by the Athenians, where the 

 fleet of Achilles was stationed at Sigeum ; and also

 on the other horn of the bay, which is the place where 

 Ajax Avas buried, at a distance of 3f miles from 

 Sigeum, and from the actual place where his fleet

 the Troad is the district called Teuthrania, inhabited 

 in ancient times by the Mysians — -this is where the 

 river Caicus aheady mentioned rises ; Tcuthrania was § i-i-

 Teuthrania are Pioniae, Andera, Idalc, Stabulum, 

 Conisimn, Teium, Balce, Tiare, Teuthranic, Sarnaca,
