 1134 TEIITONOARI. Teutones seems to be attested by the names of Teiitenwinlcd. a village near Rostoch, and Tettten- dorf, between Traremiinde and Schwartau. [L. S.] TEUTONO'ARI {TivrovAapoi), a German tribe mentioned by Ptolemy (ii. 11. § 17) in close prox- imity to the Teutones, whence it may be inferred tliat they were only a branch of the Teutones. (L;ilham, Epilcq. ad Tac. Germ. p. cxi.) [L. S.] TH.M'.Mi;. '[Atyp.arium.] THA'LJUACA {Qagpaica KoXoivia, Ptol. vi. 3. §§ 5, 21, 28, viii. U. § 3; Mela, i. 7), also called Tabraea (I'lin. v. 3. s. 2, 6), a maritime city of Nu- midia, seated at the mouth of the Tusca. It was the border city towards Zeugitana, and a Toman colony. (I'toi., riin., 11. cc.) The surrounding; country was covered with thick woods. (Juv. 5. X. 194.) Thabraca was the scene of the death of Gildo. (Gland. Land. Stil. i. 359.) It still retains the name of Taharka. (Cf. Itin. Ant. pp. 21, 495, 514 ; Anjr. adv. Donat. vi. 32.) [T. H. I).] THABUASTA, a place in the Libyan Nonios {Itin. Ant. p. 72), identified by Lapie with Kasr Bourn Adjoubah. [T. H. D.] THAHU'SIUM, a fortress on the river Indus in Caria, not far from Cibyra. (Lv. xxxviii. 14.) THAGULIS (SayovXls, Ptol. iv. 3. § 43), or Tagulus {Itin. Ant. p. 65), a town in Africa Pro- pria, on the Svrtis JIajor, according to Lapie near AH. Called fagulis in Tab. Pent. [T. H. D.] T H AGUR A (called Thacora in 7aA. J 'cut.), a place in Numidia, variously identified with El-(jwttar and El-Matnainia. {Itin. Ant. p. 41.) [T. H. D.] THAGURUM {Qayovpov upos, Ptol. vi. 16. § 2), a mountain in Serica, stretching from the ttoro- corras in a northerly direction towards the Asmiraean mountains. It is in the S. part of the IbHigol ter- ritory, and N. of the Hoang-ho. [T. l. D.] THALA {QaXa^ Strab. xvii. p. 831), an im- portant town of Numidia, with a treasury and arsenal. (Sail. ./. 75, 77, 80, 89; Tac. Ann. iii. 21; Flor. iii. 1.) It is probably identical with Telepte (TfAfTTTij, Procop. de Aed. vi. G), a for- tified town of Numidia, lying to the NW. of Capsa, and from which there was a road to Tacape on the Syrtis llinor {/tin. Ant. p. 77). Shaw {Trav. vol. i. p. 288, seq.) takes Ferrennah. both from its ruins and its situation, to have been the ancient Thala or Telepte (cf. Slannert, x. 2. p. 321), but Lapie seeks it at Ilanuch-el-Khima. [T. H. D.] THALA (rb 0dAa opos, Ptol. iv. 6. §§ 12, 14, 16), a mountain in the interior of Libya, near which dwelt a tribe of the same name (t)aAai, Ptol. iv. 6. § 21). [T. H D.] THA'LAMAE {©aXajxai). 1. A town of Elis, .situated above Pylos on the frontiers of Achaia, and in the rocky recesses of Jlount Scollis, probably near the modern village of Sandameri, at the he.ad of a narrow valley. It was here that the Eleians took refuge with their property and flocks, when their country was invaded bv Philip in r.. c. 219. (Xen. Hell. viii. 4. § 26 ; Polyb. iv. 75 ; Leake, il/o- rea, vol. ii. p. 204, Peloponnesiuca, p. 220 ; Cur- tius, Peloponnesos, vol. ii. p. 38.) 2. (Also QaXdn-q, Ptol. iii. 16. § 22': F.th. 0a- Xafiaras), a town of Lacnnia, distant 80 stadia north of Oetylus, and 20 stadia from Pephmis. (I'aus. iii. 26. §§ 1, 2.) Pephnus was on the coast, on the eastern side of the Jlessenian gulf, and Tha- lamae was situated inland, probably at or near Platza, upon the river Milea, the minor Pamisus of Strabo (viii. p. 361). Ptolemy {I.e.) also calls it THANA. one of the inland towns of Laconia. Theopompus called Thalamae a Messenian town (Steph. Ii. s. v. 0aAd/xai), and we know that the Messenians said that their territory originally extended as far as the minor Pamisus. [Laconia, p. 1 14,b.] Thalamae was said to have been founded by Pelops, and was called in the time of Strabo the Boeotian Thalamae, as if it had received a Boeotian colony. (Strab. viii. p. 360.) Thalamae is mentioned by Polybius (xvi. 16). It was subsequently one of the Eleuthero- Laconian towns. (Paus. iii. 21. § 7.) In the ter- ritory of Thalamae, on the ro.ad to Oetylus was a temple and oracle of Ino or Pasiphaii, in which the future was revealed to those that slept in the temple. Even the Sjiartan kings sometimes slept in the temple for this purpose. The temple probably stood upon the promontory Trachela, where there are some ancient remains. (Paus. iii. 26. § 1 ; Plut. Agis, 9 ; Cic. de Divin. i. 43 ; Hermann, Gottesd. Alterth. § 41. 7.) (Leake, Peloponnesiuca, p. 178; Boblaye, Pecherches, ifc. p. 92; Curtius, Pdopon- nesos, vol. ii. p. 284.) THALIADES. [Arcadia, p. 193, No. 15.] THALLI, a people of Asiatic Sarmatia, E. of the mouth of the Rba. (Plin. vi. 5. s. 5.) [T. H. D.] THAJIANAEI, a people in central Asia, belong- ing to the fifteenth satrapy of Dareius Hystaspis. Their exact position is uncertain. (Herod, iii. 93, 117; Steph. B. s. v.) THAJIARA {Qaixapd, Euseb. and Onom. s. t'. Hfizazon-Thinnar; @ajxapoi), Ptol. v. 16. § 8; Tab. Pent.; Tamar, Ezeh.xlvn. 19, xlviii. 28), a town in Palestine, and one of the most .'-outherly points in the country according to Ezckiel. According to Eusebius and Jerome it was a town and fortress one day's journey from Malatha on the way from Hebron to Ailah, and in their time was held by a Roiuan garrison. Robinson fixes it at Kitrnub, the bite with ruins 6 miles S. of Milh towards the pass es-Sufdh. {Bibl. Res. vol. ii. p. 202, 2nd ed.) THAMBES {Qaix§t]i, Qdafxrjs, or 0d/.ti)s, Ptol. iv. 3. §§ 16, 25), a mountain in the eastern part of Numidia, in which the river Rubricatus has its sources. [T. H. D.J THAJINA {ed/xva: Eth. Qa/xvirris), a large village of Palestine near Lydda, on the way to Jerusalem, which gave its name to the Toparchia Thamnitica. (Ptol. v. 16. §8; Joseph. iJ. ./. iii. 3, V. 4; Plin. V. 14. s. 15; Eu.seb. Onom. s. v. Steph. B. s. v.; Robinson, Bibl. Res. vol. ii. p. 239, seq., 2nd ed.) THAMOXDACANA. [Xigeih, p. 418, b.] TH AMUDE'NI (Oa^oi/STjrai), a people of Arabia, dwelling njwn the coast of the Arabian gulf, for more than 1000 stadia from about J/o//aA to Wid- jeh. (l)iod. iii. 44 ; Agatharch. p. 59, Hudson, § 92, with JliiUei's note.) Ptolemy mentions the Thamydeni {&afi.v^7)vo'C) among the inland tribes of Arabia (vi. 7. § 21), but in another passage he j>laces them upon the coast, under the slightlv al- tered name of Thamyditae {Qa/jLv^lTai, vi. 7. § 4). In Pliny they are called Thamudeni (vi. 28. s. 32). Stephanus B. makes Thamnda (0a;uoi;5d) a ntigli- bour of the Nabataeans. The name is evidently the same as Thamud, a celebrated tribe in early Arabian history. Th'aXA or THOANA {&dva, Qodva, Ptol. v. 1 7. § 5; Tliorma, Tab. Pent.), a town of Arabia Petraea, probably corresponds to Dliana, a village visited by Burckhardt, on the declivity of a mountain N. of
