Corjcos, tliere being a town\ port, and cave^ all of the same 
name. Passing these, we come to the river Calycadnus^, 
the Promontory of Sarpedon'*, the towns of Holmoe^ and 
Myle, and the Promontory and town of Venus ^, at a short 
distance from the island of Cyprus. On the mainland there 
are the towns of Myanda, Anemurium^, and Coracesium^, 
and the river Melas^, the ancient boundary of Cilicia. In 
the interior the places more especially worthy of mention 
are Anazarbus^^, now called Csesarea, Augusta, Castabala", 
Epiphania^^, formerly called CEniandos, Eleusa^^, Iconium^^, 
1 Its ruins are supposed to be those seen by Leake near the island of 
Crambusa. Here the walls of an ancient city may still be traced, and a 
mole of unhewn rocks projects from one angle of the fortress about 100 
yards across the bay. 
2 Strabo describes this cave as a vast hollow of circular form, sur- 
rounded by a margin of rock on all sides of considerable height; on 
descending it, the ground was found full of shrubs, both evergreens and 
cultivated, and in some parts the best saffron was grown. He also says 
tfeat there was a cave which contained a large spring, from which arose a 
river of clear water which immediately afterwards sank into the earth 
and flowed underground into the sea. It was called the Bitter Water. 
This cave, so famed in ancient times, does not appear to have been 
examined by any modern traveller. It was said to have been the bed of 
the giant Typhon or Typhoeus. ^ Now known as the Grhiuk-Su. 
4 Supposed to be the same as the modern Lessan-el-Kahpeh. 
^ Or Holmi, on the coast of Cilicia Tracheia, a little to the south-west 
of Seleucia. Leake tliinks that the modern town of Aghahman occupies 
the site of Holmoe. 
6 Probably the same place as the Aplirodisias mentioned by Livy, Dio- 
dorus Siculus, and Ptolemy. 
7 On the headland now called Cape Anemour, the most southerly part 
of Asia Minor. Beaufort discovered on the point indications of a con- 
siderable ancient town. 
s Its site is now called Alaya or Alanieh. This spot was Strabo' s 
boundary-line between Pamphylia and Cilicia. Some shght remains of the 
ancient town were seen here by Beaufort, but no inscriptions were found. 
9 Identified by Beaufort vrith the modem Manaugat-Su. 
10 So called, either from an adjacent mountain of that name, or its 
founder, Anazarbus. Its later name was Csesarea ad Anazarbum. Its site is 
called Anawasy or Amnasy, and is said to display considerable remains of 
the ancient town. Of Augusta nothing is known*: Ptolemy places it in a 
district called Bryelice. 
11 Identified by Ainsworth with the ruins seen at Kara Kaya in CiHcia. 
12 Pompey settled some of the Cihcian pirates here after his defeat of 
them. It was thirty miles east of Anazarbus, but its site does not appear 
to have been identified. i^ An island off the shore of Cihcia, also 
called Sebaste. i'* Some of the MSS. read " Riconium " here,
