Rh From Tios to the river Billaeus 20 tadia. This river is mentioned by Apollonius as a dark coloured water, and is noticed by Pliny.

From the River Billaus to the river Parthenius 100 tadia. This river is mentioned by Homer, and in a commentary on the paage, it is decribed as "fluens per regiones valde arnoenas et valde placide, unde hoc delicatum nomen nactus et." It is called a very gentle river by Apollonius. Tournefort ays, the Greeks retain its name, calling it Partheni, but the Turks call it Dolap. He confirms the opinion that its name was derived from its beauty, and the flowery meadows through which it flows, which had been before oberved by Strabo. It is placed by Ptolemy 19′ to the eat of Tion, equal to about 10% Englih miles, or 144 tadia, not very different from Arrian. It was the boundary between Bithynia and Paphlagonia.,

From the Parthenius to Amaitris'90 tadia. Amatris is decribed by Strabo as ituated on a peninula, the ithmus of which forms a port on each ide. This correponds exactly with
