PERPERENE Mysi».<br />

Note.—The position <strong>of</strong> Perperene is marked approximately in my <strong>map</strong> <strong>of</strong> Asia Minor. It is placed<br />

by Strabo (p. 607) inland from Cisthene, a city (ruined in his time) <strong>with</strong> a harbour, a little on the<br />

outside <strong>of</strong> Cape Pyrrha, which <strong>with</strong> Gargara, a town situated on an opposite promontory, 120 stades<br />

distant, formed the entrance <strong>of</strong> the bay <strong>of</strong> Adramyttium. There were copper mines near Perperene.<br />

With these several data, and the assistance <strong>of</strong> Perperenian <strong>coins</strong>, which are both autonomous and<br />

imperial, and extend from Nero to Gordian, the exploring traveller could hardly fail to discover the<br />

exact site <strong>of</strong> the city.<br />

B. IIEPnEPHNIiiN. Female in long drapery, <strong>with</strong> modius on the head,<br />

PESSINUS Galatiffi.<br />

Note.—The remains <strong>of</strong> this city, so important a point for the progress <strong>of</strong> geography in Asia Minor,<br />

have at length been visited by M. Texier and Mr. Hamilton. They are called Balahissir, and are<br />

situated about ten miles to the southward <strong>of</strong> Sevrihissir.— Vide Hamilton, i. p. 438.<br />

Note— This river may be a tributary <strong>of</strong> the Sangarius, near the sources <strong>of</strong> which Pessinus stood,<br />

or it may be the Sangarius itself, which flows at a distance <strong>of</strong> ten or twelve miles to the south <strong>of</strong><br />

Another.<br />

Pessinus, and probably <strong>with</strong>in the Pessinuntine territory.<br />
