TRAPEZOPOLIS Carije.
Note.—
By Pliny and Ptolemy, Trapezopolis is assigned to Caria, and by the latter is associated
with Antiocheia Carise. The Byzantine authorities (Socrates, 7, 36 ; Hierocles, p. 6fi5) place it in
Phrygia Pacatiana, which included Laodiceia and Hierapolis among its most south-westerly cities.
Probably therefore Trapezopolis occupied gome position in the adjacent part of Caria, between Laodiceia
and Antiocheia Carice.

B. AIA nOAl(apxov 1) AAPACTOY.
TRAPEZUS Ponti.
Note.— Ti-apezus was a colony of Sinope, which was afterwards joined by all the remaining inha-

the Ten Thousand, and again under the it Byzantine empire, seems to have declined, if we may judge
numismatically, in some of the intervening ages, as no coins of Trapezus are extant earlier than those
of Trajan. Its ancient name is preserved in the usual Romaic form TpaweJoDvra.

TRIPOLIS Carise.
Note.—
Tripolis, according to the Antonine and Tabular Itineraries, stood on the road firom Hierapolis
to Philadelphia, at 12 m.p. from the former, and 33 or 34 m.p. from the latter,— data which are
found to be unusually accurate for these authorities when applied to ruins of a considerable still
city
extant near Koah-Yenidjd, about four miles distant from the right bank of the Mteander. They
were visited by Smith in 1671, and again by Mr. W. J. Hamilton in 1836 j both of whom mention a
