 GEBBEIUL GabaH, tte chief part of whose territoiy was in the mountain regkn of the Gehenna ; for the Gabali whom Caesar does not mention (JS. G. vii. 8) were between the Uelvii and the Arverni. Soath of the Arremi, on the west side ef the Gehenna and in the basin of the Garonne^ were the Ruteni, the southern part of whose territory, even in Caesar's time, was within the limits of the Roman ProTincia. The extent of the mountainoos oouatry compre- hended under the name Cevennes is much tass than the Gehenna of Strabo. The direct distance firom the most southern source of the Orb to La Loaire (489011. high), is about 80 miles. The sources of the ABieTt a branch of the Loh^ and of the Lot and the Tiorn, branches of the Garonne, are in the mounUun regions of the Lozere^ The direct distance from La Losire to Mont Mezena^ which is as far north perhape as we can extend the name of Civennes, is about 45 miles. Mont Mezene (5820 fleet high), near which are the sources of the ZotVe, is nearly in the latitude of the junction of the Hhone and the Isere^ where Strabo states that the Gehenna ap- proaches nearest to the Rhone. It is true that this part of the CSvennes is nearer to the Rhone than any part of the range to the south of it, for the direction of the range is from SW. to N£.; but Strabo, as dready obserred, makes the Gehenna extend further north to the latitude of Lyon. [G. L.] CEBRE'NE (Kf€fHiyri) or GEBREN, a town of Mysia, in a district Cebreoia (KtSpJivla) There was a river Gebren (K4€fniv), The Ethnic names are Kc^pqy^f, Kfipjit^fvs, and K(€frfivios (Steph. s.v. Kf^pqrfa); but the Ethnic name is properly K«- €priifuvs, as Strabo has it. Gebrenia was below Dardania, and a plain country for the most put. It was separated from the Scepsia or territory of Scepsis by the river Scamander. The people of Scepsis and the Gebrenii wore always quarrelling, till Antigonus removed both of them to his new town of Antigonia, afterwards called Alexandria Troas. The Gebrenii remained there; but the Scepsii ob- tained permission from Lysimachus to go home again. Strabo speaks of a tribe in Thrace called Gebrenii (p. 590), near a river Arisbus ; but we cannot conclude any thing from this as to the origin of the Gebrenii. Ephorus, in the first book of his history (quoted by Harpocrat. «. v. K4€fnpm)y says that the Aeolians of Gumae sent a colony to Ge- bren. The city Gebren surrendered to Dercyllidas the Lacedaemonian (Xen. BeU. iiL I. § 17), who marched from thence against Scepsis and Gergitha. Geographers have differed as to the position of Ge- brenia. Palaescepsis was near the banks of the Aesepos, and the Scepsis of Strabo's time was 40 stadia lower down than Old Scepsis. Now, Old Scepsis was higher up than Gebrenia, near the high- est part of Ida, and its territory extended to the Scamander, where Gebrenia began. Again, the terri- tory of the Assii and the Gaigareis was bounded by Antandria (on the east), and the territory of the Gebrenii, the Neandrieb, and the Hamaxiteis. Thus Gebrenia is brought within tolerably definite limits. Leake (^Atia Mmor^ p. 274) supposes Gebrenia to have occupied the higher region of Ida on the west, and its plain to be the fine valley of "the Mendere as far down as J?n<, probably Neandria. This seems to agree with Strabo's description. Leake also sup- poses tliat the town Gebren may be a place called Kuekunbt Tepe, not far from BaramiUh, Dr. E. D. Clarke found considerable remains at Kuahunlu Tepe ; but remains alone do not identify a site. [G. L.] GELAENAE. 579 CEBRUS. [CiABRUs and Gibrus.] GECILlONrCUM iltm.

Mr. Foreter identifie«» them with the Ganraitae or Cadraitae of Arrian, ihe Cerd .nitae or Cedranitae o Stephanus, and the Darrae of Ptolemy, and traces their origin to Cedar, the Ishmaelite Patriarch (Gtn. XXV. 13), represented by the modem Uarb nation, and the modem town of Kedeyre, (Forster, Arabia^ vol. i. pp. 75, 234, seq., 238, seq.) [G. W.] CEDRISUS (K€Bpur6s, Dicaearch. 128; K4^os, Theophrast.

Some writers, however, suppose that there were no islands or island of this name* that the name Cela- dnssae in Pliny is a corraption of Dyscelados in Mela; and that the latter is invented finnn an epithet of Issa m a line of Apollonius Claai tc twTKiXMs Tt irol Ifiitpr^ ritrucia, ApoII.

Strabo (p. 57 7) says that the Maeander rises in a hill Celaenae. on which there was a city of the same name as the hill, the inhabitants of which were removed to Apamda. [Apameia, Na 5.] Hamilton, who visited the source (Rezearchei, &c. vol. i p. 499), says that " at the base of a rocky cliff a ccmsiderable stream of water gushes out with great nii»dity." This source of the Marsyas, and the cliff above it, may have been within the city of Cekienae; but it did not appear to Hamilton that this cliff could be the acropolis of Celaenae which Alexander considered to be impregnable (Arrian, Anab. i. 29 ; Curt iii. I), and came to terms with the inhabitants. He supposes that the acropolis may have been further to the NE., a lofty hill about a mile firam the ravine of the Marsyas (vol ii. p. 366). Herodotus speaks of Gehienae in describing the march of Xerxes to Sardis (b.o. 481). He says (vii. 26) that the sources of the Maeander are here, PP 2
