tioned as extending from the Promontory of Lectum* to 

 the river Etheleus. On its northern side it borders upon 

 Galatia, on the south it joins Lycaonia, Pisidia, and Myg- 

 donia, and, on the east, it touches upon Cappadoeia. The 

 more celebrated towTis tliere, besides those already men- 

 tioned, are Anc3rra^, Andria, Celaense', CoIosssd*, Carina*, 

 Cotyaion', Ceraine, Coiiium, and Midaium. There are 

 authors who say that the Moesi, the Brygi, and the Thyni 

 crossed over from Europe, and that from them are descended 

 the peoples called the Mysi, Phryges, and Bithyni. 



CHAP. 42. — GALATIA AND THE ADJOININO NATIONS. 



On this occasion also it seems that we ought to speak of 

 Galatia^, which lies above Phrygia, and includes the greater 

 part of the territory taken from that province, as also its 



^ Cape Baba, or Santa Maria j the south-western promontory of 

 the Tread. 



* In Phrygia Epictctus, or ** Conquered Phrygia," so called from its 

 conquest by certain of the kings of iJitliynia. Strabo calls this place a 

 " small city, or hill-fortress, towards Lydia." It was probably situate 

 near the source of the Macestus, now the SusugherU Su, or the Simaul 

 Su, as it is called in its upper coxu:^e. 



' The place from which the citizens were removed to Apamea, as men- 

 tioned in C. 29 of the present Book. Hamilton (Researches, &c., p. 499) 

 supposes its acropolis to have been situate about half a mile from the 

 Bom-ces of the river Marsyas. 



^ First mentioned by Herodotus, and situate on the Lycus, a branch 

 of the Mffiander. It had greatly dechned in Strabo's time, and in the 

 middle ages there rose near it a town of the name of Chonse, and Colossse 

 disappeared. Hamilton found extensive ruins of an ancient city about 

 tlu*ee miles north of the modem Khonos. It was one of the early Chris- 

 tian churches of Asia, and the Apostle Paul addressed one of his Epistles 

 to the people of tliis place. It does not appear from it that he had ever 

 visited the place ; indeed, from Chap. ii. 1 we may conclude that he 

 had not. 



* This does not appear to be the same as the Carine mentioned in 

 C. 32 of this Book, as having gone to decay. Its site is unknown. 



^ Or Cotiseum, or Cotyajimi. It was on the Roman road from 

 Dorylffiimi to Philadelphia, and in Phrygia Epictetus, according to 

 Strabo. The modem Kutahiyah is supposed to denote its site; but 

 there are no remains of antiquity. 



7 It was bounded on the west, south, and south-east by those 

 countries ; and on the north-east, north, and north-west by Pontus, 

 Paphlagonia, and Bithynia.
