with a town, of the same name. Again, on the coast we 
meet with Antandros\ formerly called Edonis, and after 
that Cimmeris and Assos, also called ApoUonia. The town 
of Palamedium also formerly stood here. The Promontory 
of Lecton^ separates JEolis from Troas. In ^olis there 
was formerly the city of Polymedia, as also Chrysa, and a 
second Larissa. The temple of Smintheus^ is still standing ; 
Colone^ in the interior has perished. To Adramyttium 
resort upon matters of legal business the ApoUoniatae^, 
whose town is on the river Rhyndacus^, the Erizii^, the 
Miletopolitae^, the Poemaneni^, the Macedonian Asculacso, 
the Polichnsei^^, the Pionitse", the Cilician Mandacadeni, 
and, in Mysia, the Abrettini^^, the people known as the 
Hellespontii^^, and others of less note. 
famous for its fertility. The modern village of Ine is supposed to occupy 
the site of the ancient town of Gargara. 
1 Now Antandro, at the head of the Grulf of Adramyttium. Aristotle 
also says that its former name was Edonis, and that it was inhabited by 
a Thracian tribe of Edoni. Herodotus as well as Aristotle also speak of 
the seizm"e of the place by the Cimmerii in their incursion into Asia. 
2 Now Cape Baba or Santa Maria, the south-west promontory of the 
Troad. 
3 Or Sminthian Apollo. This appears to have been situate at the 
Chrysa last mentioned by PHny as no longer in existence. Strabo places 
Chrysa on a hill, and he mentions the temple of Smintheus and speaks 
of a symbol which recorded the etymon of that name, the mouse which 
lay at the foot of the wooden figure, the work of Scopas. According to 
an ancient tradition, Apollo had his name of Smintheus given him as 
being the mouse- destroyer, for, according to Apion, the meaning of Smin- 
theus was a "mouse." 
According to tradition this place was in early times the residence of 
Cycnus, a Thracian prince, who possessed the adjoining country, and the 
island of Tenedos, opposite to which Colone was situate on the mainland. 
Phny however here places it in the interior. 
^ The site of this Apollonia is at AbuUionte, on a lake of the same 
name, the Apolloniatis of Strabo. Its remains are very inconsiderable. 
^ Or Lycus, now known as the Edrenos. 
7 Of this people nothing whatever is known. ^ D'Anville tliinks 
that the modern Bah- Kesri occupies the site of Miletopolis. 
^ Stephanus Byzantinus mentions a place called Poemaninum near 
Cyzicus. The inhabitants of Polichna, a town of the Troad. 
The people of Pionia, near Scepsis and Gargara. 
12 They occupied the greater part of Mysia Proper. They had a native 
divinity to which they paid peculiar honours, by the Greeks called 'Levs 
'A3p6TTr]vbs, 
The same as the Olympeni or Olympieni, in the district of Oijmpene
