Zela/^ and at the foot of Mount Argaeus^^ Mazaca, now called 
Csesarea.^^ That part of Cappadocia which lies stretched out 
before the Greater Armenia is called Melitene, before Com- 
magene Cataonia, before Phrygia Garsauritis, Sargarausene/^ 
and Cammanene, before Galatia Morimene, where their terri- 
tories are divided by the river Cappadox/^ from which this 
people have taken their name ; they were formerly known as 
the Leucosyri/^ From I^eocsesarea above mentioned, the 
lesser Armenia is separated by the river Lycus. In the in- 
terior also there is the famous river Ceraunus/^ and on the 
coast beyond the town of Amisus, the town and river of 
Chadisia,^"^ and the town of Lycastum/^ after which the region 
of Themiscyra^^ begins. 
native place of Apollonius, the supposed worker of miracles, whom the 
enemies of Christianity have not scrupled to place on a par with Jesus 
Christ. 
55 Some ruins, nineteen geographical miles from Ayas, are supposed to 
denote the site of ancient Castabala or Castabulum. 
56 This place was first called Eupatoria, but not the same which Mithri- 
dates united with a part of Amisus. B'Anville supposes that the modern 
town of Tchenikeb occupies its site. 
57 Or Ziela, now known as Zillah, not far south of Amasia. It was 
here that Julius Csesar conquered Pharnaces, on the occasion on which he 
wrote his dispatch to Eome, Veni, vidi, vici." 
58 Still known by the name of Ardgeh-Dagh. 
59 Its site is still called Kaisiriyeh. It was a city of the district Cilicia, 
in Cappadocia, at the base of the mountain Argaeus. It was first called 
Mazaca, and after that, Eusebeia. There are considerable remains of the 
ancient city. 
6^ Hardouin remarks, that the district of Sargarausene was not situate 
in front of Phrygia, but lay between Morimene and Colopenene, in the 
vicinity of Pontus. 
^1 Now known as the Konax, a tributary of the Halys, rising in Mount 
Littarus, in the chain of Paryadres. 
62 Or White Syrians." Strabo says that in his time both the Cappa- 
docian peoples, those situate above the Taurus and those on the Euxine, 
were called Leucosyri, or White Syrians, as there were some Syrians who 
were black, and who dwelt to the east of the Amanus. 
^3 It is doubtful whether this is the name of a river or a town. Not- 
withstanding its alleged celebrity, nothing is known of it. 
Hecataeus, as quoted by Stephanus Byzantinus, speaks of Chadisia as 
a city of the Leucosyri, or Cappadocians. Neither the river nor the town 
appears to have been identified. 
65 Probably on the river of that name, which has been identified with 
the Mers Imak, a river two or three miles east of the Acropolis of Amisus.

river Iris, beyond the Thermodon, and celebrated as the country of the
