JEolis^ comes next, formerly known as Mysia, and Troas 
which is adjacent to the Hellespont. Here, after passing 
Phocsea, we come to the Ascanian Port, then the spot where 
Larissa^^ stood, and then Cyme^\ Myrina, also called Sebas- 
topolis^^, and in the interior, jEgse^^, Attalia^^, Posidea, Neon- 
^ The people, it is supposed, of a place called Hierocgesarea. 
2 The people probably of Metropohs in Lydia, now TurbaH, a city on 
the plain of the Cayster, between Ephesns and Smyrna. Cilbis, perhaps 
the present Durgut, was their chief place. 
3 A people dwelling in the upper valley of Cayster. 
^ Or Mysian Macedonians. 
5 The people of Mastaura in Lydia. Its site is still known as Mas- 
taura-Kalesi. 
6 The people of Briula, the site of which is unknown. 
7 The people of Hypsepse, a small town of Lydia, on the southern 
slope of Mount Tmolus, forty-two miles from Ephesus. Under the 
Persian supremacy, the worship of Fire was introduced at this place. 
Arachne, the spinner, and competitor with Minerva, is represented by 
Ovid as dwelling at this place; he calls it on two occasions *'the little 
HypsepEe." Leake is of opinion that the ruins seen at Bereki belong to 
this place. 
^ The people of Dios Hieron, or the " Temple of Jupiter." This was 
a small place in Ionia between Lebedus and Colophon. It has been sug- 
gested that it was on the banks of the Cayster, but its site is uncertain. 
9 ^olis, properly so called, extended as far north as the promontory 
of Lectum, at the northern entrance of the bay of Adramyttium. 
Near Cyme, a place of Pelasgian origin. It was called Egyptian 
Larissa, because Cyrus the Great settled here a body of his Egyptian 
soldiers. According to D'Anville its site is still known as Larusar. 
1^ Said to have been so called from Cyme an Amazon. It was on the 
northern , side of the Hermus : Herodotus gives it the siu-name of Phri- 
conis. Its site is supposed to be at the modern SanderU or Sandarho. 
The father of the poet Hesiod was a native of this place. 
12 It was probably so called in honour of the Emperor Augustus. 
13 Situate at a short distance from the coast. We learn from Tacitus 
that it suffered from the great earthquake in the time of Tiberius. Its 
site is called Guzel-Hissar, according to D'Anville. 
1^ Originally named Agroeira or AUoeira. There is a place still called 
Adala, on the river Hermus, but Hamilton foimd no remains of anti- 
quity there.
