CHAP. 24. — PISIDIA. 



The PisidsB^ formerly called the Solymi, occupy the higher 

 parts of the mountains. In their country tliere is the colony 

 of Caesarea, also called Antiochia^, and the to^vns of Oro- 

 anda' and Sagalessos. 



CHAP. 25. — LTCAONIA. 



These people are bounded by Lycaonia*, which belongs to 

 the jurisdiction of the province of Asia'', to which also resort 

 the people of Philomelium*, Tymbrium', Leucolithium*, 

 Pelta, and Tyrium. To this jurisdiction is also added a 



whereas Strabo speaks of them as the most barbarous of all the Pisidian 

 tribes, dwelling only in caves. They were conquered by the consul Qoi- 

 rinius in the time of Augustus. 



^ Pisidia was a mountainous region formed by that part of the main 

 chain of Mount Taurus which sweeps round in a semicircle parallel to 

 the shore of the PamphyUan Gulf; the shore itself at the foot of the 

 mountains forming the district of Pamphyha. On the south-east it was 

 boimded by Cilicia, on the east and north-east by Lycaonia and Isauria, 

 and by Phrygia Parorios on the north, where its boundaries greatly 

 varied at different times. 



2 Gt3nerally called " Antioch of Pisidia," was situate on the south side of 

 the mountain boundary between Phrygia and Pisidia. The modem Ya- 

 lobatch is supposed to occupy its site. The remains of the ancient town 

 are numerous. Its title of Csesarea was probably given to it on its be- 

 coming a Koman colony early in the imperial period.. 



3 D'Anville suggests that the modem Haviran occupies its site, and 

 that Sadjakla stands on that of Sagalessos. 



* This country was bounded on the north by Galatia, on the east by 

 Cappadocia, on the south by Cihcia Aspera, on the south-west by Isauria 

 and Phrygia Parorios, and on the north-west by Great Phiygia. It 

 was assigned under the Persian empire to the satrapy of Cappadocia, 

 but tx)nsidered by the Greek and Eoman geographers the south-east part 

 of Phrygia. 



^ Ph^^gia, or the western part of Asia, the first part of the Asiatic 

 continent that received the name of Asia. See Chapters 28 & 29 of the 

 present Book. 



^ D'Anville thinks that the place called Il-Goim occupies the site of 

 Philomela. 



^ Hardouin suggests that the reading here is "Tibriani," the people 

 of Tibrias. Ansart is of opinion that Thymbrium is meant, the place at 

 which Cyrus defeated the army of Croesus. 



8 Its site is unknowTi. It was probably so called from the quarries of 

 wliite stone or marble in its vicinity. Pelta and Tyrixim are also equally 

 imknown.
