 188 ANNmi. sajs that it was so called from an Amazon Anaea, who was boned there. If Anaea was opposite Samos, it mnst have been in Lydia, which did not extend south of the Maeandor. From the expressions of Thncydides (iii. 19, 32, iv. 75, viii. 19), it may have been on or near the coast, and in or near the ▼alley of the Maeander. Some Samian exiles posted themselves here in the Peloponnesian war. The passage of Thncydides (iv. 75) seems to make it a naval station, and one near enough to annoy Samos. The conclusion, then, is, that it was a short distance north of the Maeander, and on the coast; or if not on the coast, that it was near enough to have a sta- tion for vessels at its command. [G.

[P. S.] ANOPAEA. [Thersioftiab.] ANSIBA'RII or AMPSIVAIUI, that is, <' sailors on the Ems " {Emtfahrer)^ a German tribe dwelling about the lower part of the river Amisia (Emt). During the war of the Romans against the Cherusci, the Ansibarii^ like many of the tribes on the coast of the German ocean, supported the Romans, but afterwards joined the general insurrection called forth by Axminius, and were severely chastised for it by Gennanicus. In a. d. 59, the Ansibarii, ac- cording to Tadtus {Awn, xiii. 55, 56), were ex- pelled irom their seats by the Chaud, and being now homeless they asked the Romans to allow them to settle in the country betwerai the Rhine and Yssd, which was used by the Romans only as a pastnre land for their horses. But the request was haughtily re- jected by the Roman commander Avitus, and the Ansibarii now applied for aid to the Bructeri and Tenchteri; but t«ing abandoned by the latter, they applied to the Usipii and Tubantes. Being rejected by these also, they at last appealed to the Chatti and Cherusci, and after long wanderings, and enduring all manner of hardships, their young men were cut to pieces, and those unable to bear arms were dis- tributed as booty. It has been supposed that a rem- nant of the Ansibarii mnst have maintained them- selves s(nnewhere and propagated their race, as Am- mianus Marcellinus (xx. 10) mentions them in the reign of Julian as forming a tribe of the Franks ; but the reading in Amm. Marcellinus is very uncertain, the MSS. varying between Attuarii, Ampsimiru, and Afuuarii, It is equally uncertain as to whether the tribe mentioned by Strabo (p. 291, 292) as 'A/i^^oMi and Kofi^iayol are the same as the 'Ansi- barii or not.

The plain below Antaeo- polis was the traditional scene of the combat be- tween Isis and Typhon, in which the former avenged herself for the mtii^er of her brother-husband Osiris. (Diod. i. 21.) Under the Christian emperors of Rome, Antaeopolis was the centre of an episcopal 800. Medals struck at this dty in the age of Trajan ANTARADUS. and Hadrian are still extant. The site of AsUe^- poHs is now occupied by a straggling village 6o»> el-Kebeer, A few blocks near the river's edge an all that remains of the temj^ of Antaeus.

D.] ANTANDRUS CAFroySpov: EOl 'Ayn^H•r: Antandro), a dty on the coast of Troas, near the head of the gulf of Adramytttnm, on the N. side, and W. of Adramytdnm. According to Aristotle (Steph. B. s. V. "AvroySpot), its original name wis Edonis, and it was inhabited by a Thradan tribe d Edoni, and he adds '* at Cimmeris, from the (Sua- merii inhahiting it 100 years." Phny (v. 30) iq>- pears to have copied Aristotle also. It seems, tha, that there was a tradition about the Cimmerii bating seized the place in their incunion into Ana, of whi^ tradition Herodotus speaks (i. 6). Herodotus (ril 42) gives to it the name Pelasgis. Again, Akaois (Strab. p. 606) calls it a dty of the Lekges. Fnm these vague statements we may oondnde that it wu a very old town; and its advantageous position at the foot of Aspaneus, a mountain belonging to Ids, where timber was cut, made it a desirable possession. Virgil mi^es Aeneas build his fleet here (iea. iil 5). The traditaon as to its bdng settled from An- dros (Mela, i. 18) seems merely founded on a ridicu- lous attempt to explain the name. It was finaUj an Aeolian settlement (Thnc viii. 108), a &ct which is historicaL Antandros was taken by the Persians (Hered. v. 26) shortly after the Scythian expedition of Darios. In the dghth year of the Pdoponnesian war it was betrayed by some Mytilenaeans and others, exiles from Lesbos, being at that time under the BDpre> macy of Athens; but the Athenians soon ncovered it. (Thuc. iv. 52, 75.) The Persians got it again during the Peloponnesian war; but the townspei^Ie, fearing the treachery of Arsaces, who oomzoanded the garrison there fcnr Tissaphemes, drove the Per- sians out of the acropolis, b.g. 411. (Thuc viiL 1 08.) The Persians, however, did not lose the {Jaoe. (Xen. HelL i. 1. § 25.) [G.

According to the Antonine Itineraiy and Peutinger Table, it was 24 M. P. from Bahmea, and 50 M. P. from Tripdis. The writer in Ersch and Giubei's Encydopadie («. v.) places Antaradns on the coast about 2 miles to the N. of Aradus^ and identifies it with Came (Steph. B. ». v.) or Camos, the port of ArBdus,accoi^ing to Strabo (xvi. p. 753 ; compi Plin. V. 18). It was rebuilt by the emperor Constantioa, A. D. 346, who gave it the name of Constantia. (Cedren. HitL Comp. p. 246.) It retained, how- ever, its former name, as we find its bishops undei botli titles in some councils after the reign of Ccn- stantins. In the crusades it was a populous and well fortified town (GuiL Tyr. vii. 15), and was known under the name of Tortosa (Tasso, GtrtuO' lem. LtberatOy i. 6; Wilken, Die Kretizz^ vol i p. 255, ii. p. 200, vii. p. 340, 713). By Maundrel and others the modem Tartit has been confbunde( with Arethusa, but incorrectly. It is now a meai
