1132 TERMETIS. statement of Stephanus B. that there was another town of the same name in Pisidia, which was called Lesser Tcrmessus QTepfXTjcrads 7; fitKpd.) [L. S.] COIN OF TERMESSOS. TER5IETIS, a mountain of Lydia between Mounts Olympus and Tmolus, is mentioned only by Plinv (V. 31). [L. S.] ■ TEKMILAE (Tep/itA.ai) is said to have been the ancient name of the inhabitants of Lydia, before the name Lydi came into use. These Termilae were believed to have come from Crete; and even in the time of Herodotus the Lydians were often called Termilae by the neighbouring nations. (Herod, i. 173, vii. 92; Paus. i. 19. § 4.) [L. S.J TERPO'NUS (Te'/jTrtocos), a town of the Lipodes in Hlyria,of uncertain site. (Appian, £. /%/•. 18.) TESA (Triad, Warcian, Peripl. p. 23; Teiira, Ptol. vi. 8. § 8), a small town on the coast of Gedro- sia, visited by the fleet of Nearchus. It is probably the same as the Taoi or Tpoi'oi of Arrian {Ind. c. 29), and may be represented by the present Tiz. [V.] TESEBA'KICE (Ti(J7j§api«7?, sc. x<^P°; Peripl. Mar. Eylhyr. p. 1, ap. Hudson, Geogr. Min.), is supposed to have been a portion of the district inhabited by the Troglodytes. The modern Persian name Trez-uBareek closely resetnbles the ancient one, and is said to mean, when applied to a country. " low and flat," which designation would accord with the S. portion of the Eegio Troglodytica in the level region of Aetliiopia near the mouth of the Red Sea. (Vincent, Commerce and Navigation of the Ancients, vol. ii. p. 89. [Troglodytae.] [W.B.D.] TESTRINA. [Aborigines.] TE'TIUS (TeVios, Ptol. v. 14. § 2), a river on the S. coast of Cvjirus, probably the Tesis. [T. H. D.] TETRADIUAI. [Tyriaeum.] TETRANAULOCHUS. [Naulochus, No. 3.] TETRAPHYLIA, a town of Athamania in Epei- rus, where the royal treasures were kept. (Liv. x-.viii. 1.) TETRA'POLIS. 1. Of Attica. [Marathon.] 2. Of Doris. [Doris.] TETRAPYRGIA {JirpaTrvpyia). 1. A town in the Cyrenaica, of uncertain site, situated above the harbour Plynus. (Strab. xvii. p. 838 ; Polyb. xx.xi. 26.) 2. A town of Cappadocia in the district Gar- sauria. (Ptol. v. 6 § 14.) TETRIOA IION.S, a mountain in the central range of the Apennines, adjoining the territory of the Sabines. Virgil enumerates the " Tetricae bor- rentes rupes " among the localities of that people, and Silius Italicus in like manner closely associates the " Tetrica rupes" with Nursia. Varro also speaks of the Montes Fiscellns and Tetrica as aliounding in wild goats. (Virg. Aen. vii. 713 ; Sil. Ital. viii. 417; Varr. R. R. ii. 1. § 5.) From all these passages it is evident that it was one of the TEUMESSUS. lofty and rugged chain of the Central Apennine.«, which extend from the Monti della Sibilla, south- wards as far as the Gran Sasso, separating Picenum from the country of the Sabines: and this position is confirmed by Servius and Vibius Sequester, of whom the former calls it " Mons in Piceno asperrinms, while the latter terms it " Mcms Sabinorum." (Serv. ad Aen. I. c. ; Vib. Seq. p. 33.) It cannot be iden- tified with more accuracy. The two grammarians just quoted write the name " Tetricus Mons ;" hut Varro, as well as Virgil and Silius, adopts the fe- ininine form, which is not therefore one merely poetical. [E. H. 15.] TETRISIUS [TiRizis]. TETUS (T^Tos), a river on the Atlantic coast of Gallia, which Ptolemy (ii. 8. § 2) places between the Staliocanus Portns and Argenus, or the outlet of the river Argenus, if that is the true reading. It is impossible to determine what river is the Tetus. D'Anville assumes the place to be the bay of Seu, which receives the rivers See and Selune. Others take the Tetus to be the Treguier or Trieu. (Ukert, Gallicn, p. 144.) [G. L.] TEUCERA, in North Gallia, is placed by the Table about halfway between Nemetacum (Arras) and Samarobriva (Amie7is). Tievre, on the road from Amiens to Ar7-as, represents Teucera. (D'An- ville, Notice, ifc.) [G. L.] TEUCRl. [Troas.] TEUDE'EIUM (TevSepiov), a place in the country of the Chauci Minores, on the river Amasia, in Gerinany (Ptol. ii. 11. § 28). Its site is com- monly identified with that of the village of Dorgen, near Meppen. [L. S.] TEUDURLTM, in North Gallia, is placed in the Antonine Itineraiy on a route from Coloiiia Trajana [CoLONiA Trajana] through Juliacum (Juliers) to Colonia Agrippina (^Cologne'). The place is Tuddern. The distance from Tuddern to the sup- posed site of Coriovallum is marked viii. [CoRio- VALLU.M.] [G. L ] TEUGLUSSA (TevyKovaaa), an island men- tioned by Thucydides (viii. 42, where some read TiinXovaaix), which, from the manner he speaks of it, must have been situated between Syme and Hali- carnassus. Stephanus B. also mentions the island on the authority of Thucydides, but calls it Teu- tlussa and an island of Ionia. There can be no doubt that the Scutlusa mentioned by Pliny (v. 36) is the same as. the Teuglussa or Teutlussa of Thucy- dide.s. [L. S.] TEUJIESSUS (Tei/^rjo-o-Js : Eth. Tevf^vaatos), a village in Boeotia, situated in the plain of Thebes, upon a low rocky hill of the same naiue. The name of this hill appears to have been also given totherausje of mountains separating the plain of Thebes fmin the valley of the Asopus. [Boeotia, pp. 413. 414.] Teumessus was upon the road from Thebes to Chalcis (Paus. ix. 19. § 1), at the distance of 100 stadia from the former (Schol. ad Eurip. Phoen. 1105.) It is mentioned in one of the Homeric hymns (Hi/mn. in Apoll. 228) with the epithet Aex<T0(7) or grassy, an epithet justified by the rich plain which sur- rounds the town. Teumessus is celebrated in the epic legends, especially on account of the Teumes- sian fox, which ravaged the territory of Thebes. (Paus. /. c. ; Anton. Lib. 41; Palaeph. de Incredih. 8; see Diet, of Biogr. Vol. I. p. 667.) The only building at Teumessus mentioned by Pausanias was a temple of Athena Telchinia, without any statue.
