 458 plint's KATUEAL HISTOET. [Book V. On passing Telmessus we come to the Asiatic or Carpa- thian Sea, and the district -^'liich is properly called Asia. Agrippa has divided this region into two parts ; one of which he has bounded on the east by Phrygia and Lycaonia, on the west by the ^gean Sea, on the south by the Egyptian Sea, and on the north by Paphlagonia, making its length to be 473 miles and its breadth 320. The other part he has bounded by the Lesser Armenia on the east, Phrygia, Ly- caonia, and Pamphylia on the west, the province of Pontus on the north, and the Sea of Pamphylia on the south, making it 575 miles in length and 325 in breadth. CHAP. 29 CAEIA. Upon the adjoining coast is Caria then Ionia, and beyond it ^olis. Caria surrounds Doris, which lies in the middle, and runs down on both sides of it to the sea. In it" is the Promontory of Pedalium^, the river Glaucus"*, into which the Telmedium^ discharges itself, the towns of Dsedala®, Crya^, peopled by fugitives, the river Axon^, and the town of Calynda^. small stream that flows into the Horzoom Tchy. In B. xxxr. c. 17, Bliny mentions a kind of chalk found in the vicinity of this place.

It was also called Artemisium, from the temple of Artemis or Diana situate upon it. ^ Discharging itself into the bay of Telraissus, now Makri. ^ "Telmissus" is the reading here in some editions. ^ Situate in the district of Caria called Persea. It was also the name given to a movmtainous district. In Hoskyn's map the ruins of Dsedala are placed near the head of the Gulf of Glaucus, on the west of a small river called Inegi Chai, probably the ancient Ninus, where Deedalus was bitten by a water-snake, in consequence of which he died. 7 On the Gulf of Glaucus : Stephanus however places it in Lycia. Mela speaks only of a promontory of this name. ^ Placed by Strabo sixty stadia from the sea, west of the Gulf of Glaucus, and east of Carinus. Its site is uncertain, but it may possibly be the place discovered by Fellows, which is proved by inscriptions to have been called Cadyanda, a name otherwise unknown to us. Tliis Hes
 * Leake places this river immediately west of the Gulf of Glaucus.
