former capital, Grordium^ The G-auls" who have settled in 

 these parts, are called the Tolistobogi, the Yoturi, and the 

 Ambitouti; those who dwell in Maeonia and Paphlagonia 

 are called the Trocmi. Cappadocia stretches along to the 

 north-east of Galatia, its most fertile parts being possessed 

 by the Tectosages and the Teutobodiaci. These are the 

 nations by which those parts are occupied ; and they are 

 divided into peoples and tetrarchies, 195 in nimiber. Its 

 towns are, among the Tectosages, Ancyra'; among the 

 Trocmi, Tavium'' ; and, among the Tolistobogi, Pessinus*. 

 Besides the above, the best known among the peoples of 

 this region are the Actalenses, the Arasenses, the Comen- 

 ses^, the Didienses, the Hierorenses, the Lystreni^, the 

 Neapolitani, the (Eandenses, the Seleucenses^, the Sebas-

 son of Gordius, who was said to have found an anchor on the spot, and 

 accordingly given the name to the town ; which story would, however, 

 as it has been observed, imply that the name for anchor {(iyKvpa) was the 

 same in the Greek and the Phrygian languages. The Tectosages, who 

 settled here about B.C. 277, are supposed to have been from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Toulouse. It is now called Angora, or Engareh ; and the 

 fine hair of the Angora goat may have formed one of the staple com- 

 modities of the place, which had a very considerable trade. The chief 

 monument of antiquity here is the marble temple of th& Emperor 

 Augustus, built in his honour during his lifetime. In the inside is the 

 Latin inscription known as the monumentum, or marmor Ancyranvm^ 

 containing a record of the memorable actions of Augustus. The ruins 

 here are otherwise interesting in a high degree.

5 Its ruins are called Bala-Hisar, in the south-west of Galatia, on 

 the southern slope of Moimt Didymus. This place was celebrated as 

 a chief seat of the worship of the goddess Cybele, vmder the surname of 

 Agdistis, whose temple, filled with riches, stood on a hiU outside of 

 the city. 



^ Hardouin suggests that these are the Chomenses, the people of the 

 city of Choma, in the interior of Lycia, mentioned in C. 28 of the 

 present Book. 



7 The people of Lystra, a city of Lycaonia, on the confines of 

 Isauria, celebrated as one of the chief scenes of the preaching of Paul 

 and Barnabas. See Acts xiv.
