of Afia Minor, in the Troade, called Dardana, or Dardanus. 
This town, the capital of Dardania, was fituated on the fea 
coaft, near the Hellefpont, 16 miles from Troy, 8 miles N. 
from Ab sacs and 8 miles S. from Rhetceum. It is pre- 
tended that it was founded by Dardanus, who had mar- 
ried the daughter of Teucer, king of this country ; and 
Steph. Byz. fays, that it had been called Teucris. In this 
city, as Plutarch fays, peace was concluded between Mith- 
wate and Sylla, the Roman general. This town gave name 
o the Dardanelles.
