tioned as extending from the Promontory of Lectnm^ to 
the river Etheleus. On its northern side it borders upon 
Gralatia, on the south it joins Lycaonia, Pisidia, and Myg- 
donia, and, on the east, it touches upon Cappadocia. The 
more celebrated towns there, besides those already men- 
tioned, are Ancyra"'^, Andria, Celsense^, Colossse^, Carina^, 
Cotyaion^, Ceraine, Conium, and Midaium. There are 
authors who say that the Moesi, the Brygi, and the Thyni 
crossed over from Europe, and that from them are descended 
the peoples called the Mysi, Phryges, and Bithyni.

On this occasion also it seems that we ought to speak of 
G-alatia'', which lies above Phrygia, and includes the greater 
part of the territory taken from that province, as also its 
^ Cape Baba, or Santa Maria ; the south-western promontory of 
the Troad. 
2 In Phrygia Epictetus, or " Conquered Phrygia," so called from its 
conquest by certain of the kings of Bithynia. Strabo calls this place a 
" small city, or hill-fortress, towards Lydia." It was probably situate 
near the source of the Macestus, now the SusugherU Su, or the Simaul 
Su, as it is called in its upper com'se. 
The place from which the citizens were removed to Apamea, as men- 
tioned in C. 29 of the present Book. Hamilton (Researches, &c., p. 499) 
supposes its acropolis to have been situate about half a mile from the 
sources of the river Marsyas. 
^ First mentioned by Herodotus, and situate on the Lycus, a branch 
of the Mseander. It had greatly declined in Strabo' s time, and in the 
middle ages there rose near it a town of the name of Chonse, and Coloss^e 
disappeared. Hamilton found extensive ruins of an ancient city about 
three miles north of the modern Khonos. It was one of the early Chris- 
tian churches of Asia, and the Apostle Paul addressed one of his Epistles 
to the people of this place. It does not appear from it that he had ever 
visited the place j indeed, from Chap. ii. 1 we may conclude that he 
had not. 
^ This does not appear to be the same as the Carine mentioned in 
C. 82 of this Book, as having gone to decay. Its site is unknown. 
^ Or Cotiseum, or Cotyseum. It was on the Boman road from 
Porylseum to Philadelphia, and in Phrygia Epictetus, according to 
Strabo. The modern Kutahiyah is supposed to denote its site ; but 
there are no remains of antiquity. 
7 It was bounded on the west, south, and south-east by those 
countries ; and on the north-east, north, and north-west by Pontus, 
Paphlagonia, and Bithynia.
