TIUM Bithyniffi.
Note.—Tmm was one of the numerous colonies of Miletus on the southern shore of the Euxine ; it
stood on the river Billceus, on the confines of Paphlagonia, and near another river, Sardo, as appears
from coins cited by Eckhel, ii. p. 439. The name of the town was said to have been derived from
Teius, a priest of Miletus, who led the colony (Stephan. in v.). On some of the imperial coins of
Tium, however, is the legend AIONTSOS KTI2TH2.

TRALLES Lydiffi.
Note.— Tralles (al TpaXXecc) was colonized from Argos ; its original name is not certain. This
colony having been joined by some of the Treres, a Thracian people, who, fieri rd TpiDiicd, invaded
Asia Minor, forced the Dardanian princes to retire into the recesses of Ida, and having founded Tra-
rium, near Perperene ; and another Trarium, also called Trallium, in the Gulf of Astacus, penetrated
at length to the Meeander and occupied a part of that fertile valley. Here, according to Strabo, they
prospered for a long time. They drove out the Magnetos, who were restored by the Milesii, but ap-
pear to have effected an amicable union with the Argive colony of Tralles (Strabo, pp. 573. 607. 647.
Ptolem. 5. 1. Stephan. in TpaXXiov). The worship of the Argive Jupiter Larissseus, or Aapdaiog ac-
cording to the Trallian form, continued to prevail ; but the power of the Thracians was recorded in
the name of the city, which is evidently derived from TpijpEf or Tpapcf by the easy and natural
conversion of P into AA. The place was in the height of its later prosperity in the time of Strabo,
when the Tralliani added to their name that of fCAISAPEIS, in consequence, probably, of assistance
given to them by Augustus after one of the earthquakes to which the valley of the Maeander was
pai-ticularly subject.
