Tetrarchy of Lycaonia in that part which joins up to Galatia, 
containing fourteen states, with the famous city of Iconium^ 
In Lycaonia itself the most noted places are Thebasa^ on 
Taurus, and Hyde, on the confines of Gralatia and Cappa- 
docia. On the [western] side of Lycaonia, and above Pam- 
phylia, come the Milyse^, a people descended from the 
Thracians ; their city is Arycanda. 
CHAP. 26. — PAMPHYLIA. 
The former name of Pamphylia^ was Mopsopia^. The 
Pamphylian Sea^ joins up to that of Cilicia. The towns of 
Pamphylia are Side'', Aspendum^, situate on the side of a 
mountain, Pletenissum^, and Perga^^. There is also the Pro- 
montory of Leucolla, the mountain of Sardemisus, and the 
1 Iconium was regarded in the time of Xenoplion as the easternmost 
town of Phrygia, while all the later authorities described it as the prin- 
cipal city of Lycaonia. In the Acts of the Apostles it is described as a 
very populous city, inhabited by Grreeks and Jews. Its site is now called 
Kunjah or Koniyeh. 
2 It has been suggested that this may be the Tarbassus of Artemidorus, 
quoted by Strabo. Hyde was in later times one of the episcopal cities of 
Lycaonia. 
3 Their district is called Melyas by Herodotus, B. i. c. 173. The city 
of Arycanda is unknown. 
4 United with Cihcia it now forms the province of Caramania or Ker- 
manieh. It was a narrow strip of the southern coast of Asia Minor, 
extending in an arch along the Pamphylian G-ulf between Lycia on the 
west, Cilicia on the east, and on the north bordermg on Pisidia. 
5 Tradition ascribed the first G-reek settlements in this country to 
Mopsus, son of Apollo (or of Rhacius), after the Trojan war. 
^ Now called the Grulf of Adaha, lying between Cape IQieUdonia and 
Cape Anemour. 
7 Now called Candeloro, according to D'Anville and Beaufort. 
s Or Aspendus, an Argeian colony on the river Eurymedon. The 
" mountain " of Phny is nothitig but a hill or piece of elevated ground. 
It is supposed that it still retains its ancient name. In B. xxxi. c. 7, 
Phny mentions a salt lake in its vicinity. 
y Hardouin suggests that the correct reading is ' Petnelessum.' 
A city of remarkable splendour, between the rivers Catarrhactes and 
Cestrus, sixty stadia from the mouth of the former. It was a celebrated 
seat of the worship of Artemis or Diana. In the later Roman empire it 
was the capital of Pamphyha Secunda. It was the first place visited by 
St. Paul in Asia Minor, See Acts, xiii. 13 and xiv. 25. Its splendid 
ruins are stiU. to be seen at Murtana, sixteen miles north-east of Adaha.
