dos[1] and the former site of Palseomyndos; also Nariandos, Neapolis[2], Caryanda[3], the free town of Termera[4], Bargyla[5], and the town of Iasus[6], from which the Iasian Gulf takes its name.
Caria is especially distinguished for the fame of its places in the interior ; for here are Mylasa[7], a free town, and that of Antiochia[8], on the site of the former towns of Symmajthos and Cranaos : it is now surrounded by the rivers Mæander[9] and Orsinus[10]. In this district also was formerly Mæandropolis[11]; we find also Eumenia[12], situate on the river Cludros, the river Glaucus[13], the town of Lysias and Orthosa[14],
- ↑ Its ruins are to be seen at the port called Giamishlu. This was a Dorian colony on the coast of Caria, founded probably on the site of the old town of the Leleges.

- ↑ Situate near Iasus and Myndos. Leake conjectures that it may have been on the bay between Pastra Limane and Asyn Kalosi. There was a statue here of Artemis Cindyas, under the bare sky, of which the incredible story was told that neither rain nor snow ever fell on it.

- ↑ Hamilton has fixed the site of this place between four and five miles south-east of Kuyuja, near the mouth of the valley of the Kara-Su. The surrounding district was famous for the excellence of its figs. The city was built by Antiochus, the son of Seleucus.
- ↑ Now called the Mendereh or Meinder.
- ↑ Pococke thinks that the present Jenjer is the Orsinus, while Mannert takes it to be the Hadehizik, a little winding river that falls into the Meander.

- ↑ On the road from Dorylæium to Apamea. It is said to have received its name from Attains II., who named the town after his brother and predecessor Eumenes II, Its site is known as Ishekle, and it is still marked by numerous ruins and sculptures.
- ↑ A tributary of the Ma'ander. Its modern name is not mentioned.
- ↑ Mannert takes the ruins to be seen at Jegni-Chehr to be those of ancient Drthosia. The town of Lysias does not appear to have been identified.
