CIDYESSUS Phrygise.<br />

Note.—Of this place nothing is known, except that it was a Phrygian city. From Ptolemy, it<br />

would appear to have stood between Peltee and the frontier <strong>of</strong> Bithynia, Trapd Si Ttjv BtOvviav,<br />

MoKcaJ/ji'oi, Kai HvSiaaiXt;, iiij) ovi IleXrijvoi (5, 2, § 26),— a wide interval, giving little approximation<br />

tu the site. Its published <strong>coins</strong> extend from Domitiau tu Philip, but the city was still in<br />

existence two centuries later, when a bishop <strong>of</strong> Cidyssua sat in the Council <strong>of</strong> Chalcedou, and when<br />

KIAY220S is found among the cities <strong>of</strong> Phrygia Pacatiaua in Hieroclea (Wess. p. 668). It is from<br />

the <strong>coins</strong> alone we learn the true orthography <strong>of</strong> the name.<br />

CILBIANI Lydise.<br />

Note.—The great valley <strong>of</strong> the Caystrus has been very insufficiently explored by travellers. We<br />

find mention <strong>of</strong> <strong>coins</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Upper Cilbiani, <strong>of</strong> the Lower Cilbiani, <strong>of</strong> the Cilbiani Nicseenses, <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Cilbiani Pcrgameni, and <strong>of</strong> the Cilbiani Ceaetae, besides all which were the Caystriani. The po-<br />

sitions <strong>of</strong> these places are among the desiderata <strong>of</strong> Asia Minor. (Vide Eckhel, Doct. Num. Vet. iii.<br />

p. 96. Mionnet, iv. p. 28, seq. Supp. vii. p. 333, seq.)<br />

were as many towns as these names seem to indicate.<br />

It is not to be supposed, however, that there<br />

From a comparison <strong>of</strong> Strabo (p. 629) <strong>with</strong><br />

Pliny (5, 29 ; 13, 7) we learn that the Caystrus had its origin in the Cilbian heights, which unite the<br />

eastern extremities <strong>of</strong> the ridges <strong>of</strong> Tmolus and Messogis. In or at the foot <strong>of</strong> these hills some<br />

vestiges <strong>of</strong> the city <strong>of</strong> the Upper Cilbiani may be looked for ; between it and the passes <strong>of</strong> the river<br />

in the former<br />

Caystrus above the Ephesian territory were first the Ciibian and then the Caystrian plain ;<br />

were the Ceaotse and the Lower Cilbiani. From the published series <strong>of</strong> Cilbian <strong>coins</strong>, it appears that<br />

about the reign <strong>of</strong> Augustus the Lower Cilbiani received a colony from Nicsea, and in or before that<br />
