dos\ and the former site of Palaeomyndos ; also Nariandos, 

 Neapolis'^, Caryanda^ the free town of Termera'', Bargyla*, 

 and the town of lasua®, from which the lasian Grulf takes 

 its name. 



Caria is especially distinguished for the fame of its places 

 in the interior ; for here are Mylasa'^, a free town, and that 

 of Antiochia*, on the site x)f the former towns of Sym- 

 ma^thos and Cranaos : it is now surrounded by the rivers 

 Maeander'^ and Orsinus'". In this district also was formerly 

 Maeaudropolis" ; we find also Eumenia^^, situate on the river 



CludroSjthe river Glaucus*', the town of Lysias andOrthosa",

^ Its ruins are to be seen at the port called Gumishlu. This was a 

 Dorian colony on the coast of Caria, founded probably on the site of the 

 old town of the Leleges. 



2 It has been suggested that this was only another name for the new 

 town of Myndo3, in contradistinction to Palceomyndos, or "old MyndoS." 



3 Scylax the geographer is supposed to have been a native of this 

 place. The town is supposed to have been built partly on the mainland 

 and partly on an island. Pastra Limani is supposed to have been the 

 harbour of Caryanda. 



* A Dorian city on the Promontory of Termerimn. 



* Situate near lasus and Myndos. Leake conjectures that it may have 

 been on the bay between Pastra Limane and Asyn Kalesi. There was a 

 statue here of Artemis Cindyas, under the bare sky, of which the incre- 

 dible story was told that neither rain nor snow ever fell on it. 



^ See note ^* on the last page. 



7 Its ruins are to be seen at the spot stiU called Melasso. It was a 

 veiy floiu-ishing city, eight miles from the coast of the Gulf of lasus, and 

 situate at the foot of a rock of fme white marble. It was partly destroyed 

 in the Roman civil wars by Labienus. Its ruins are very extensive. 



*^ Hamilton has fixed the site of tliis place between four and five miles 

 south-east of Kuyuja, near the mouth of the valley of the Kara-Su. The 

 surrounding district was famous for the excellence of its figs. The city 

 was built by Antiochus, the son of Seleucus. 



9 Now called the Mendereh or Meinder. 



^^ Pococke thinks that the present Jenjer is the Orsinus, while Mannert 

 takes it to be the Hadeliizik, a little winding river tliat falls into the 

 Mseander. ^^ Now called Guzel-Hissar, according to Ansart. 



^' On the road from Doiylseum to Apamea. It is said to have received 

 its name from Attains II., who named the town after lus brother and 

 predecessor Eumenes 11. Its site is known as Ishekie, and it is still 

 marked by numerous ruins and sculptures. 



^3 A tributary of the Mseander. Its modem name is not mentioned. 



^'^ Mannert takes the ruins to be seen at Jegni-Chehr to be those of 

 ancient Orthosia. The town of Lysias does not appear to have been 

 identified.
