with a town of the same name. Again, on the coast we
meet with Antandros[1] formerly called Edonis, and after
that Cimmeris and Assos, also called Apollonia. The town
of Palamedium also formerly stood here. The PromontorT
of Lecton[2] separates Æolis from Troas. In Æolis there
was formerly the city of Polymedia, as also Chrysa, and a
second Larissa. The temple of Smintheus[3] is still standing;
Colone[4] in the interior has perished. To Adramyttium
resort upon matters of legal business the Apolloniatæ[5],
whose town is on the river Rhyndacus[6], the Erizii[7], the
Miletopolitæ[8], the Pœmaneni[9], the Macedonian Asculacæ,
the Polichnæi[10], the Pionitæ[11] the Cilician Mandacadeni,
and, in Mysia, the Abrettini[12], the people known as the
Hellespontii[13], and others of less note.
- ↑ Now Antandro, at the head of the Gulf 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 seizure of the place by the Cinimerii in their incursion into Asia.
- ↑ Now Cape Baba or Santa Maria, the south-west promontory of the Troad.
- ↑ Or Sminthian Apollo. This appears to have been situate at the Chrysa last mentioned by Phny as no longer in existence. Strabo places Chrvsa 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 Smintheus 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. Pliny however here places it in the interior.
- ↑ The site of this Apollonia is at Abullionte, on a lake of the same name, the Apolloniatis of Strabo. Its remains are very inconsiderable.
- ↑ Or Lycus, now known as the Edrenos.
- ↑ Of this people nothing whatever is known.
- ↑ D'Anville thinks that the modern Bali-Kesri occupies the site of Miletopolis.
- ↑ Stephanus Byzantinus mentions a place called Pœmaninum near Cyzicus.
- ↑ The inhabitants of Polichna, a town of the Troad.
- ↑ The people of Pionia, near Seepsis and Gargara.
- ↑ They occupied the greater part of Mysia Proper. They had a native divinity to which they paid peculiar honours, by the Greeks called (

- ↑ The same as the Olympeni or Olympieni, in the district of Olympene
famous for its fertility. The modem village of Iné is supposed to occupy the site of the ancient town of Gargara.
