Tetrarchy of Lycaonia in that part which joins up to Galatia, 

 containing fourteen states, with the famous city of Iconium\ 

 In Lycaonia itself the most noted places are "Thebasa^ on 

 Taurus, and Hyde, on the confines of Galatia and Cappa- 

 docia. On the [western] side of Lycaonia, and above Pam- 

 phylia, come the Milyae', a people descended from the 

 Thiacians ; their city is Arycanda. 



CHAP. 26. — PAMPHTLIA. 



The former name of Pamphylia'* was Mopsopia*. The 

 Pamphylian Sea^ joins up to that of Cilicia. The towns of 

 Pamphylia are Side^, Aspendum^, situate on the side of a 

 mountain, Pletenissum^, and Perga^°. There is also the Pro- 

 montory of Leucolla, the mountain of Sardemisus, and the 



1 Tconium was regarded in the time of Xenophon as the easternmost 

 town of Phrygia, while all the later authorities described it as the prin- 

 cipal city of Lycaonia. In the Acts of the Apostles it is described as a 

 very populous city, inhabited by Gh^jeks and Jews. Its site is now called 

 Kunjah or Koniyeh. 



2 It has been suggested that this may be the Tarbassus of Artemidorus, 

 quoted by Strabo. Hyde was in later times one of the episcopal cities of 

 Lycaonia. 



3 Their district is called Melyas by Herodotus, B. i. c. 173. The city 

 of Arycanda is unknown. 



■* United with Cilicia it now forms the provmce of Caramania or Ker- 

 manieh. It was a narrow strip of the southern coast of Asia Minor, 

 extending in an arch along the Pamphylian Gulf between Lycia on the 

 west, Cilicia on the east, and on the north bordering on Pisidia. 



* Tradition ascribed the first Greek settlements in this country to 

 Mopsus, son of Apollo (or of Rhacius), after the Trojan war. 



^ Now called the Gulf of Adalia, lying between Cape Xhelidonia and 

 Cape Anemour. 



^ Now called Candeloro, according to D'Anville and Beaufort. 



8 Or Aspendus, an Argeian colony on the river Eurjniiedon. The 

 " mountain " of Pliny is nothing but a hill or piece of elevated ground. 

 It is supposed that it still retains its ancient name. In B. xxxL c. 7, 

 Pliny mentions a salt lake in its yicinity. 



^ Hardouin suggests that the correct reading is 'Petnelessimi.' 



"^^ A city of remarkable splendom*, between the rivers Catarrhactes and 

 Cestrus, sixty stadia from the mouth of the former. It was a celebrated 

 seat of the worsliip of Artemis or Diana. In the later Roman empire it 

 was the capital of PamphyHa Secunda. It was the first place visited by 

 St. Paul in Asia Minor. See Acts, xiii. 13 and xiv. 25. Its splendid 

 ruins are still to be seen at Murtana, sis^teen miles north-east of Adalia.
