In the map that aocompaoies Spratt's Lycia^ the Lysis and the Cobnlatos are marked as the two npper branches of the Catarrhactes (^Duden-Su); but this Teqnires further ezaminatioo. Anmdell (Asia MmoTy vol. ii. p. 154} supposes theCobnlatus to be the GaUrrhactes. [6. L.] GCCALA (tA R^icoXa, Arrian, Jnd. 23), a small place on the coast of Gedrosia, where Nearchos spent several dajs on his return with his fleet from India. Its position is uncertain. [V.] COGGIUk, in Britain, mentioned in the tenth Itinerary, as being 27 miles from Bremetonacae, J||l^and 18 from Afoncnnium. Bih-ekeater is generally coottdered to be its modem eouivaient [R. G. L.] GOGHE (Kmxh or Xotxh, Steph. B.), a small village en the Tigris, not &r from Seleuceia, on the authority of Stephanus, who quotes Arrian. There has been considerable doubt, from the indistinct ac- count of ancient authors, whether or not Goche is to be coisidered to be a different place from Seleuceia, or to be only an earlier name of that town. On the whole, the balance of opinions seems in favour of the former. The words of Airian, as quoted by Stepha- nus, are precise enough. Again, in describing the march of Julianus, Ammianus (xziv. 6) speaJcs of the army arriving at Goche after having thrown a bridge across tJie river Tigris. Orosius (vii. 24) speaks of Gtenphon and Goche as the two most illus- trious cities of the Parthians, and Gregor. Nazian. {Ona. w Jttlian. 2) calls Goche a ^vpioVy of equal strength with Gtesiphon, and so situated that those two places might be considered as one town, divided only by the river. Lastly, Eutropius (ix. 12) calls it " urbenC in the time of the emperor Gams. On the other hand, Ammianus (xziv. 5) has, on the emendation of Gelenius (for before his time the pas- sage was held to be conrupt) ** Gochem, quam Sdeu • ciam nominant," which would imply that Goche was the older name: to which Zosimus (iii. 23) probably refers, though he calls the pUoeZoehasa, in die pas- sage rris wpirtfHnf ftkr Zttx^h *^ ^ 2cAcvirc/ctf ipofut(ofi4viis» Pliny (viL 27) speaks of Campi Cau^ chae^ which probably refier to the same pbuse. [V.] GOGHE {KAxn aL X6iai), a town of Arabia De- serta, near the Euphrates, in lat 72° 30', Ion. 32° SO', of Ptolemy (v. 19). [G. W.] GOGHLIU'SA (Kax^ovaa, Steph. B. s. v. : £tk. Kox?<uf^ios ), an island near the coast of Lycia, which has its name from the shells found there, as Alex- ander said in his work on Lycia. [0. L.] GOGINTHUS or GOGINTHUM (K6Kw0ot, Pol.), a promontory of Brattium, which is described by Polybius (ii. 14) as the souUiemmost extremity of Italy, on which account he considers it as the point of separation between the Ionian and Sicilian Seas. But it is evident that this is founded upon a very erroneous conception of the geography of this part of Italy. For it is clear from Pliny (who him- self alludes to this mistaken idea) that the promon- tory of Gocinthum lay to the N. of Gaulonia, between that dty and the Scyllacian gulf (Plin. iii. 10. s. 15), and can thoefore be no other than the headland now called PtoUa di StUo, In another- passage (iii. 5. s. 6) Pliny not unaptly compares the configuration of this part of Italy to an Amiuonian shield, of which Godnthns forms tiie central projection, and the two promontories of Ladnium anid Lencopetra the two homs; the latter, however, should rather be the Promontory of Hercules, or Cape Spaartiveuto. Mela appears to ooofound it with the Zephyrian Promon- VOL. I. OOELA. 641 •« »• tory, which is certainly the modem Capo di Btvb' zanOf much further south. (Mel. ii. 4.) The mo- dem name of CVtpo di Stiio is evidently derived from some column ((m^Aif or aruXls) erected on the headland as a landmark, and appears to date from an early period, as it is already marked by the name of*' Stilida ** in the Maritime Itinerary. (/<m. MariL' p. 490.) The Itinerary of Antoninus, on the con- trary, mentions " Gocinto" (p. 114), as if there were a town or village of the name; but it was probably a mere station. [E. H. B.] GOGOSA or GOEQUOSA, as it is written in the Antonine Itin., is the first place on a road from Aquae Tarbellicae (Dax) to Burdigahi (Bordeaux). It is placed 24 M. P. from Dax, and is supposed to be a place called Causaeque, If this is rightly de- termined, we ascertain the position of the Cocosates, one of the Aquitanian tribes whom P. Grassus com> pelled to submit to him in the third year of the Gallic war, b. c. 56 (Gaes. B, G, iii. 27). Pliny (v. 19) calls the people *' Gocossates Sexsignani," which seems to mean that it was a garrison town. He calls the Tarbelli " QuatuorBignani." The position of the Gocosates is in the southern part of the de- partment of Let Landes ; and " the inhabitants of the Landes are still divided into two classes; the Bouges, or those of the north or of the Tete~de-Bveh; and the Gousiots, those of the south." (Walckenaer, Geog.. &c vol. i. p. 303) [Bon]. [G. L.] GOGY'LIUM (KokvKiop: Eth. KmcvA/n};), a place in Mysia, moitioned by Xenophon with Nean- dria and lliunu (Xen. BelL iii. 1. § 16.) In Pliny's time (v. 30) it had disappeared. He men- tions it between Gilla and Thebe. A place called Kutckukm^ or, as others write it, CoiedUoUm-Kunif is supposed to represent Gocylium. [G. L.] GOGyTUS, a tributary of the river Acheron in Epeirus. [Acheron.] GODANI, a people of Arabia Felix, mentioned by Pliny between the Arsi and the Vadei (vi. 28). Forster finds them in the tiibe of Eodad near Mekka. (Arabia^ voL u. p. 142, note f.) [G. W.] CODANaNIA. [ScANDiA.] GODA'NUS SINUS, the sea to the east of the Ghersonesus Glmbrorum (Jutland), which, as Pomp. MeU (iiL 4) states, is filled with islands, all of which belong to the modem kingdom of Denmark, It was therdTore the southern part of the BaiUo, A<5coirding to Pliny (iv. 27) it extended north as £tf as the prom. Gimbroram. [L. S.] GODDINUS. [SiFYLua] CODRIOK, a fortified town m Illyria, which surrendered to the Romans upon the capture of An- tipatria, b. c. 200. It was probably neu* the latter city, upon the river Apsus. (Liv. xxxi. 27.) It waa probably the same town, which is called Ghryson- dyon by Polybius (v. 108). (Leake, iVor^Aem Greece, vol. iii. p. 326, seq.) GOELA (rd KoiAa rris E&tfofar), "the HoUows,** a part of the coast of Euboea, which was very dan- gerous to vessels in stormy weather, and where a squadron of the Persian fleet was wrecked just before the battle of Artemisinm. (Herod. viiL 13.) Strabo (x. p. 445) describes it as a place between Aulis and Geraestus ; but as Aulis is mispkced in a description of the Euboean coast, many critics have proposed to read Chalds. The Epitomizer of Strabo has Gapha- reus instead of Aulis, a correction which appears to .have been made from Ptolemy (iiL 15. § 25), who places the Goela between Gaphareus and the pnvc montory Ghersonesus. But Ptolemy is the only TT ^ A. /, ^^ r^t ^' t t,' f '*•..' i « I "A 7 f , "V, •'
