tain. ]N"ext comes tlie Promontory of Cragus\ and beyond 
it a gulf ^, equal to the one that comes before it ; upon it are 
Pinara^, and Telmessus^, the frontier town of Lycia. 
Lycia formerly contained seventy towns, now it has but 
thirty-six. Of these, the most celebrated, besides those 
already mentioned, are Canas^, Candyba, so celebrated for 
the GEnian Grrove, Podalia, Choma, past which the river 
^desa flows, Cyanese^, Ascandalis, Amelas, Noscopium, 
Tlos'', and Telandrus^. It includes also in the interior the 
district of Cabalia, the three cities of which are CEnianda, 
Balbura^, and Bubon^^. 
it Arsinoe, but it still remained better known by its old name. This 
place was visited by St. Paul, who thence took ship for Phoenicia. See 
Acts xxi. 1. 
^ Tliis was more properly the name of a mountain district of Lycia. 
Strabo speaks of Cragus, a mountain with eight summits, and a city of 
the same name. Beaufort thinks that Yedy-Booroon, the Seven Capes, 
a group of high and rugged mountains, appear to have been the ancient 
Mount Cragus of Lycia. 
2 Probably the Gulf of Macri, equal in size to the Grulf of Satalia, 
which is next to it. 
3 This place lay in the interior at the base of Cragus, and its ruins are 
Btill to be seen on the east side of the range, about half-way between 
Telmessus and the termination of the range on the south coast. 
^ Its ruins are to be seen at Mei, or the modern port of Macri. 
5 Its site is unknown. That of Candyba has been ascertained to be a 
place called Grendevar, east of the Xanthus, and a few miles from the coast. 
Its rock'tombs are said to be beautifully executed. The CEnian grove or 
forest, it has been suggested, may still be recognized in the extensive 
pine forest that now covers the moimtain above the city. The sites of 
Podaha and Choma seem to be unknown. 
6 In some editions " Cyane." Leake says that this place was discovered 
to the west of Andriaca by CockereU. It appears from Scott and Forbes' s 
account of Lycia, that three sites have been found between port Tristorus 
and the inland valley of Kassabar, which from the inscriptions appeared 
anciently to have borne this name, Yarvoo, Grhiouristan, and Toussa. 
The former is the chief place and is covered with ruins of the Eoman and 
middle-age construction. At Grhiouristan there are Lycian rock-tombs. 
7 Its ruins are to be seen near the modern Doover, in the interior of 
Lycia, about two miles and a half east of the river Xanthus. Of the 
three places previously mentioned the sites appear to be unknown. 
s Mentioned by the geographer Stephanus as being in Caria. 
^ Its site is fixed at Katara, on both sides of the Katara Su, the most 
northern branch of the Xanthus. The ruins are very considerable, lying 
on both sides of the stream. Balbura is a neuter plural. 
10 It lay to the west of Balbura, near a place now called Ebajik, on a
