Coiycos, there being a town^ port, and cave^ all of the same 

 name. Passing these, we come to the river Calycadnus^ 

 the Promontory of Sarpedon"*, the towns of Holmoe^ and 

 Myle, and the Promontory and town of Venus®, at a short 

 distance from the island of Cyprus. On the mainland there 

 are the towns of Myanda, Anemurium^, and Coracesium^, 

 and the river Melas^, the ancient boundary of Cilicia. In 

 the interior the places more especially worthy of mention 

 are Anazarbus^", now called Caesarea, Augusta, Castabala", 

 Epiphania'^, formerly called (Eniandos, Eleusa^^, Iconium", 



1 Its ruins are supposed to be those seen by Leake near the island of 

 Crambusa. Here the walls of an ancient city may still be traced, and a 

 mole of unhewn rocks projects from one angle of the fortress about 100 

 yards across the bay. 



2 Strabo describes this cave as a vast hollow of circular form, sur- 

 roianded by a margin of rock on all sides of considerable height; on 

 descending it, the ground was found fidl of shrubs, both evergreens and 

 cultivated, and in some parts the best satfron was grown. He also says 

 tbat there was a cave wliich contained a large spring, from which arose a 

 river of clear water wliich immediately afterwards sank into the earth 

 and flowed imdergrotmd into the sea. It was called the Bitter Water. 

 This cave, so famed in ancient times, does not appear to liave been 

 examined by any modem traveller. It was said to have been the bed of 

 the giant Typhon or Typhoeus. 3 jfow known as the Ghiuk-Su. 



* Supposed to be the same as the modem Lessan-el-Kahpeh. 



' Or Holmi, on the coast of Cilicia Tracheia, a Httle to the south-west 

 of Seleucia. Leake thinks that the modem town of Aghalinjan occupies 

 the site of Holmoe. 



6 Probably the same place as the Aplu-odisias mentioned by Livy, Dio- 

 dorus Siculus, and Ptolemy. 



7 On the headland now called Cape Anemour, the most southerly part 

 of Asia Minor. Beaufort discovered on the point indications of a con- 

 siderable ancient tovm. 



8 Its site is now called Alaya or Alanieh. This spot was Strabo' s 

 boundary-line between Pamphylia and Cihcia. Some sHght remains of the 

 ancient towTi were seen here by Beaufort, but no inscriptions were found. 



9 Identified by Beaufort with the modem Manaugat-Su. 



^0 So called, either from an adjacent mountain of that name, or its 

 founder, Anazarbus. Its later name was Csesarea ad Anazarbura. Its site is 

 called Anawasy or Amnasy, and is said to display considerable remains of 

 the ancient town. Of Augusta nothing is known": Ptolemy places it in a 

 district called Bryehce. 



" Identified by A ins worth with the ruins seen at Kara Kay a in CiHcia. 



^2 Pompey settled some of the CiUcian pirates here after his defeat of 

 them. It was thirty miles east of Anazarbus, but its site does not appear 

 to have been identified. ^^ j^ island off the shore of Cihcia, also 

 called Sebaste. !■* Some of the MSS. read " Eiconium " here,
