EVMENIA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Eumeneia (Eumeneia: Eth. Eumeneus: Ishekle), a town of Phrygia, situated
on the river Glaucus, on the road from Dorylaeum to Apameia. (Plin. v. 29; Strab.
xii. 576; Hierocl. p. 667.) It is said to have received its name from Attalus
II., who named the town after his brother and predecessor, Eumenes II. (Steph.
B. s. v.) Ruins and curious sculptures still mark the place as the site of an
ancient town. (Hamilton, Researches, &c. vol. ii. p. 165.) On some coins found
there we read Eumeneon Achaion, which seems to allude to the destruction of Corinth,
at which troops of Attalus were present. The district of the town bore the name
Eumenetica Regio, mentioned by Pliny. (Comp. Franz, Funf Inschriften u. funf Stadte
in Kleinasien, p. 10, foll.)
(Eumeneia). A city of Phrygia, north of Peltae, which probably derived its name from Eumenes, king of Pergamus.
