(28.) The river Indus \ which rises in the mountains of 
the Cibjratse^, receives sixty-five rivers which are constantly 
flowing, besides upwards of 100 mountain torrents. Here 
is the free town of Caunos^, then the town of Pyrnos'^, the 
port of Cressa^, from which the island of Ehodes is distant 
twenty miles ; the place where Loryma formerly stood, the 
towns of Tisanusa^, Paridion^, and Larymna^, the Gulf of 
Thymnias^, the Promontory of Aphrodisias^^, the town of 
Hyda, the Grulf of Schoenus, and the district of Bubasus^^ 
There was formerly the town of Acanthus here, another 
N.IS'.E. of Matri, on the Gulf of Grlaucus or Makri, at a place called 
Hoozoomlee, situate on an elevated plain. 
^ The same as the river Calbis of Strabo and Mela, at present the 
Dalamon Tchy, Quingi or Taas, having its sources in Mount Cadmus 
above Cibjra. It was said to have derived its name from an Indian, who 
had been thrown into it from an elephant. 
^ Their district was Cibyratis, of which the chief city was Cibyra. 
This place, uniting with the towns of Balbura, Bubon, and CEnianda, 
had the name of Tetrapolis ; of which league Cibyra was the head, mus- 
tering 30,000 infantry and 2000 cavalry. The iron found in this district 
was easily cut with a chisel or other sharp tool. The site of this power- 
ful city has been ascertained to be at Horzoom, on the Horzoom Tchy, 
a branch of the Dalamon Tchy or Indus. The ruins are very extensive, 
and the theatre in fine preservation. 
3 Placed by Strabo west of Calynda. The ancient descriptions of its 
locaHty vary, but the place now known as Kaiguez is said to denote its 
site. The Caunii are frequently mentioned in the Persian, Grrecian, and 
Roman histories. It was noted for its dried figs, mentioned by Phny in 
B. XV. c. 19. 
Supposed by Mannert to be the Physcus of Strabo and the Phuscse 
of Ptolemy. 
^ Leake says that this harbour is now called Aplothika by the Greeks, 
and Porto CavaHere by the Itahans. He also says that on its western 
shore are the ruins of an Hellenic fortress and town, which are undoubt- 
edly those of Loryma. 
6 It had a port of the same name. 
7 Called Pandion by Mela, according to Parisot. 
^ Parisot suggests that it is the same as Loryma previously mentioned. 
^ Like the Gulf of Schoenus, a portion probably of the Dorian Gulf, 
now the Gulf of Syme. 
The modern name of this promontory is not given by Hamilton, who 
sailed round it. It has been confounded with the Cynos Sema of Strabo^ 
now Cape Yelo. The site of Hyda or Hyde is unknown. 
There was a town of this name as well. Stephen of Byzantium 
tells us that it received its name from a shepherd who saved the life of 
Podalirius, when shipwrecked on the coast of Caria.
