these parts, are called the Tolistobogi, the Yoturi, and the 
Ambitouti ; those who dwell in Mseonia and Paphlagonia 
are called the Trocmi. Cappadocia stretches along to the 
north-east of Gralatia, its most fertile parts being possessed 
by the Tectosages and the Tentobodiaci. These are the 
nations by which those parts are occupied ; and they are 
divided into peoples and tetrarchies, 195 in number. Its 
towns are, among the Tectosages, Ancyra^ ; among the 
Trocmi, Tavium^ ; and, among the Tolistobogi, Pessinus^. 
Besides the above, the best known among the peoples of 
this region are the Actalenses, the Arasenses, the Comen- 
ses^, the Didienses, the Hierorenses, the Lystreni^, the 
Neapolitani, the (Eandenses, the Seleucenses^, the Sebas-

ginally belonged to Phrygia, and its mythical founder was Midas, the 
son of Grordius, who was said to have found an anchor on the spot, and 
accordingly given the name to the town ; which story would, however, 
as it has been observed, imply that the name for anchor (dyKvpa) was the 
same in the Greek and the Phrygian languages. The Tectosages, who 
settled here about B.C. 277, are supposed to have been from the neigh- 
bourhood of Toulouse. It is now called Angora, or Engareh ; and the 
fine hair of the Angora goat may have formed one of the staple com- 
modities of the place, which had a very considerable trade. The chief 
monument of antiquity here is the marble temple of the Emperor 
Augustus, built in his honour during his lifetime. In the inside is the 
Latin inscription known as the monumentum, or marmor Ancyranum, 
containing a record of the memorable actions of Augustus. The ruins 
here are otherwise interesting in a high degree. 
^ Now Tchoroum, according to Ansart. 
^ Its ruins are called Bala-Hisar, in the south-west of G-alatia, on 
the southern slope of Mount Didymus. This place was celebrated as 
a chief seat of the worship of the goddess Cybele, under the surname of 
Agdistis, whose temple, filled with riches, stood on a hiU outside of 
the city. 
^ Hardouin suggests that these are the Chomenses, the people of the 
city of Choma, in the interior of Lycia, mentioned in C. 28 of the 
present Book.

Isauria, celebrated as one of the chief scenes of the preaching of Paul 
and Barnabas, See Acts xiv.
