(lAr. xziiL 95.) livy, who is the onlj aatbor that men- tioDS Hamae, tells os that it was 3 miles from Comae; bat the exact tile camiot be detcrmiiied. [E. H. B.] HAMA'XI A i'Afm^ta), a small town in the west- ern part of CUida Aspenu (Strabw ziv. p^ 669.) It had a good roadstead for ships, and excellent cedan for ship>building. (Locan, viiL 259.) Ha- roaxia is perhaps the same plaoe as Anaziam (^i^adiatm. Mar. Jfagni, § 188), which, however, is placed west of Coracesiiim, so that it would belong to Pamphylia. (Comp. Leake, Atia Mmor^ p. 197.) [L. S.] H AHAXITUS CAfia(rr^t), a town on the sonth- western coast of Troas, 50 st^Ua soath of Lari88a,and dose to the plain of Halesion. It was prubabl j an Aeolian colony, bat had ceased to exist as early as the time of Strsbo. (ScyL p. 36 ; Thncyd. viil 101 ; Xenoph. BeOen. ill 1. § 13; Strab. x. p. 473, xiii. pp. 604, 612, 613.) According to Aelian {Hist. Ail xii. 5), its inhabitants worshipped mice, and for this reason exiled Apollo, their chief divinity, Smin- tbeus (from the Aeolian o'ft/i^a, a moose). Stiabo relates the occarion of this as follows: When the Teocrians fled from Crete, the oracle of Apollo ad- vised them to settle on the spot where their enemies issoed from the earth. One night a nombw of field-mice destroyed all their shields, and, recog- nising in this oocoirenoe the hint of the oracle, they established themselves there, and called Apollo Sminthens, representing him with a moose at his feet. Daring the Macedonian period, the inhabi- tants were compelled by Lysimachos to quit their town and remove to the neighboariug Alexandria. (Comp. Steph. B. s. v.; Plin. t. 33.) No ruins of this town have yet been discovered (Leake, Ana Minor, p. 273); bat Prokesch (^Dei^cwurdigk. iii. p. 362) states that architectural remains are still seen near Cape Baba, which he b inclined to r^ard as belonging to Hamazitus. Another town of the same name is mentioned by Pliny (v. 29) as situated in Caria, on the north coast of the Cnidian Chersonesus. [L. S.] HAMAXO'BII CA^Seioi, Ptol. iii. 5. § 19; lamblich. de Abitm, iii. 15 ; Pomp. Mel. ii. 1. § 2; Plin. vi. 12 ; Steph. B. s. v. "ACtoi), a people of Sar- matia, rituated to the E. of the Scythian Alauni, who wandered with their waggons along the banks of the Volga^ and belonged to the Sarmatian stock. (Schafarik, Slav. AU. vol. i. p. 204.) [E. B. J.] HAMAXOECI CA^oocoi, Eustath. ad Horn. II ziii. 5 ; Hesiod. ap. Strti>. vii. p. 302 ; Herod, iv. 46 ; Aesch. Prom. 709 ; Strab. ii. p. 87, vii. pb209, xi. p. 492). This name was applied by the ancients to the Nomadic hordes who roamed over the N. £. of Europe, neither sowing nor planting, — but living on food derived from animals, especially mares' milk, and cheese, — and moved from place to plaoe, car- rying their fsmilies in waggons covered with wicker and leather, in the same manner as the Tartars of the present day. [£. B. J.] HAMMANIENTES, a Libyan tribe beyond the Macae, who dwelt 12 days* joamey W. of the Greater Syrtis in an oasis of the sandy desert, and made their houses partly of stone, and partly of rock- salt cut from the hills by which they were sur- rounded. (Plin. V. 5.) Solinus (28) calls them Amantes. Mannert supposes them to be the Atarantbs of Herodotus. [P. S.] HARMOZON PROK [C HAKNIBALIS CASTRA. BALIS.3 HARENATIO. [Abssaccm.] BAftMACApfia: Etk.'ApimnAt). I. An town of Boeotia, raentioiied by Hfloier, vriudi is said to have been so called, cither becaosa the cfasriot if Adrsstns broke down bere^ or becaaae the ehaisot of Amphianuu disappeared in the eakth at this phwe. (Didynu and Eastath. adlLLc; Strabu ix. PL 404; Paas.ix.I9. §4,carapLL54. §2; Sttph. B. 9. o.) Strabo describes it as a deserted ▼fflaige m the territory of Tanagra near Mycalessos; and Paa- sanias speaks of the ruins of Harma and HyvaUessos as situated on the road from Thebes to Claakis. Aelian (F. S. iiL 45) speaks of a laka catted Harma, which is probably the oooe now ca&ed MoHtti or ParaUmuif to the east of Hylica. [BoBcmA, p. 413, b.] The exact site of Harma is It is supposed by Leake to hare occupied the portant pass on the road from Thebes to Chakaa, leading into the maritime plidn. (Leake, NarAerm GreecCj toL iL p. 251.) 2. A fortress in Attica. [Attica, p. 329, bwl HARMATEXLl (rk *ApfueHiXia, Diod. xVil 102), a place probably in the Panjdb, whidi Dio- dorus describes as the last of the cities of the Bracb- manes which fell into the hands of Alexander the Great. The people were a veiy warlike race, and made a gallant stsnd. They nude use of poisoDed arrows. See also Strabo (xv. p^ 723), who doea not, however, mention this place by name, tboagh he alludes to an incident which, according to Diodonta, happened there. The exact position of this place has not been determined ; but it was most likdy in the territory of the Malli (now Afii/Mn). [V.] HARMATO'TROPHI, one of several small trHies who are mentioned by Pliny (vL 16) as living at the foot of the Indian Caucasus between the Kardi and Bactri. [V.J HARMATHUS ('Ap/mtfous), a town on the north coast of the bay of Adramyttium, on the east of Cape Lectum; it is mentioned only by Thacydides (viiL 101) as opposite to the town of Methymna m Lesbos. It cannot have had any connectaon with Cape Amathus, which was ntuated much fnitfacr south (Strab. xiiL p. 622), and is probably the same as Cape Canae. [Cakab.] [L. S.] HARMOZEIA CA/>^((Ccfa, Arrian, Jmf. c S3; Armuzia, Plin. vi. 23. s. 27), the district surroand- ing Harmuza, the port at which Nearchos's fleet arrived on their return from india, and which waa situated in the S£. comer of Carmania. There can be no doubt that the name of the district Harmoseia, of the port Harmuza, and of the prMnontorj Har- mozon at the entrance of the harbour, are all derived from the name of the Persian good spirit JTbramai or Auramazda, which name has been preserved in the present Ormtis, the name of an island off the site of the former port The neighbouring land is now called Moghistdn. The Anunis or Andanis flowed through Harmozeia into the sea at Harmuza. Its present name is Ihrahim BM, [y.l HARMOZICA. [Aragus.] HARMOZON PROM. {"Apf^Co^ &cpoy, PtoLvi. 8. § 5 : Strab. xvi. p. 765), a promontory at the entrance of the Persian gulf, on the N. or Carma- nian side of it, just at the part where the sea betwvea Arabia and Ana is most narrow. Eratosthenes (ap. Strab. /. c.) and Ammianus (xxiii. 6) both assert that the coast of Arabia can be plainly seen from tliis point The promontory may perhi^ be wyt^
