CHAP. 24. — PISIDIA. 
The Pisidse^ formerly called the Solymi, occupy the higher 
parts of the mountains. In their country there is the colony 
of Csesarea, also called Antiochia^, and the towns of Oro- 
anda'^ and Sagalessos. 
CHAP. 25. — LTCAONIA. 
These people are bounded by Lycaonia^, which belongs to 
the jarisdiction of the province of Asia\ to which also resort 
the people of Philomelium^, Tymbrium'', Leucolithium^, 
Pelta, and Tyrium. To this jurisdiction is also added a 
whereas Strabo speaks of them as the most barbarous of all the Pisidian 
tribes, dwelhng only in caves. They were conquered by the consul Qui- 
rinius in the time of Augustus. 
1 Pisidia was a mountainous region formed by that part of the main 
chain of Mount Taurus which sweeps round in a semicircle parallel to 
the shore of the Pamphylian Grulf ; the shore itself at the foot of the 
mountains forming the district of Pamphyha. On the south-east it was 
bounded by Cihcia, on the east and north-east by Lycaonia and Isauria, 
and by Phrygia Parorios on the north, where its boundaries greatly 
varied at different times. 
2 G-enerally called "A ntioch of Pisidia," was situate on the south side of 
the mountain boundary between Phrygia and Pisidia. The modern Ya- 
lobatch is supposed to occupy its site. The remains of the ancient town 
are numerous. Its title of Csesarea was probably given to it on its be- 
coming a Roman colony early in the imperial period. 
3 D'Anville suggests that the modern Haviran occupies its site, and 
that Sadjakla stands on that of Sagalessos. 
^ This country was bounded on the north by Cralatia, on the east by 
Cappadocia, on the south by Cihcia Aspera, on the south-west by Isauria 
and Phrygia Parorios, and on the north-west by G-reat Phrygia. It 
was assigned under the Persian empire to the satrapy of Cappadocia, 
but t3onsidered by the Greek and Eoman geographers the south-east part 
of Phrygia. 
^ Phrygia, or the western part of Asia, the first part of the Asiatic 
continent that received the name of Asia. See Chapters 28 & 29 of the 
present Book. 
^ D'Anville thinks that the place called Il-Goun occupies the site of 
Philomela. 
7 Hardouin suggests that the reading here is " Tibriani," the people 
of Tibrias. Ansart is of opinion that Thymbrium is meant, the place at 
which Cyrus defeated the army of Croesus. 
^ Its site is unknown. It was probably so called from the quarries of 
white stone or marble in its vicinity. Pelta and Tyrium are also equally 
unknown.
