EPICTETUS Phrygise.<br />

Note.— Phrygia Epictetus is described by Strabo (p. 57fi) as containing the cities Azani, Nacoleia,<br />

Cotiaeium, Midaeium, Dorylseum, and Cadi. As he applies to the country the term j; 'Eiri'icri/r<strong>of</strong><br />

((jwyia soil.), and to the people that <strong>of</strong> oi 'EniKTriToi {^pvytg sell.) [pp. 563, 575], it seems evident<br />

that the 'Ejriicrijreic (the legend on some <strong>of</strong> the <strong>coins</strong> is EIIIKTHTEQN, Mionnet, sup. vii. p. 559)<br />

were the people <strong>of</strong> a city Epictetus, situated in the country bordering upon the Bithynian Olympus<br />

to the south. By means <strong>of</strong> <strong>coins</strong> or inscriptions the exact position <strong>of</strong> it may some day be ascer-<br />

tained.<br />

Note.— Antiochus Epiphanes gave the new name Epiphaneia to two cities in opposite directions<br />

from his capital Antioch ; one at Kama, on the Upper Orontes, which still preserves its more ancient<br />

name ; the other, ffiniandus, was on the road from Anazarba to the passes <strong>of</strong> Issus, but nearer<br />

to the latter (Itin. Tab. ; Cicero, Ep. 16, its 4) exact site has not been ascertained.<br />
