ΛΕΒΕΔΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Myonnesus (Muonnesos or Muonesos), a promontory on the south-west
of Lebedus, on the coast of Ionia, at the northern extremity of the bay of Ephesus.
It is celebrated in history for the naval victory there gained by the Romans under
L. Aemilius over Antiochus the Great, in B.C. 190. (Steph. B. s. v.; Strab. xiv.
p. 643; Thucyd. iii. 42; Liv. xxxvii. 27.) Livy describes the promontory as situated
between Samos and Teos, and as rising from a broad basis to a pointed summit.
There was an approach to it on the land side by a narrow path; while on the sea
side it was girt by rocks, so much worn by the waves, that in some parts the over-hanging
cliffs extended further into the sea than the ships stationed under them. On this
promontory there also was a small town of the name of Myonnesus (Steplh. B., Strab
ll. cc.), which belonged to Teos. The rocks of Myonnesus are now called Hypsilibounos.
Pliny (H. N. v. 37) mentions a small island of the name of Myonnesus near Ephesus,
which, together with two others, Anthinae and Diarrheusa, formed a group called
Pisistrati Insulae.

ΠΙΤΑΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Ο Στράβων αναφέρει ότι στην Πιτάνη υπάρχει κάποιος τόπος, που ονομάζεται "Αταρνεύς κάτω από την Πιτάνη" (Στράβ. 13.1.67).
Ο Στράβων αναφέρει το νησί Ελαιούσσα, που βρίσκεται απέναντι από την Πιτάνη (Στράβ. 13.1.67).
ΕΡΥΘΡΑΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Περιοχή όπου υπήρχαν ιαματικά λουτρά (Παυσ. 7,5,12).
After Mt. Corycus one comes to Halonnesos, a small island. Then to Argennum, a promontory of the Erythraean territory; it is very close to the Poseidium of the Chians, which latter forms a strait about sixty stadia in width. Between Erythrae and Hypocremnus lies Mimas, a lofty mountain, which is well supplied with game and well wooded. Then one comes to a village Cybelia, and to a promontory Melaena, as it is called, which has a millstone quarry.
Argennum (Argennon, Arginon, Thucyd. viii. 34), a promontory of the territory
of Erythrae, the nearest point of the mainland to Posidium in Chios, and distant
60 stadia from it. The modern name is said to be called Cap Blanc.
ΚΟΛΟΦΩΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Ο τόπος όπου βρισκόταν ο τάφος του Προμήθου (Παυσ. 7,3,3).
Ο πιο κρύος ποταμός της Ιωνίας. Κοντά στον ποταμό υπήρχε άλσος του Απόλλωνα (Παυσ. 7,5,10).
After Colophon one comes to the mountain Coracius and to an isle sacred to Artemis, whither deer, it has been believed, swim across and give birth to their young.
Coracius Mons (to Korakion oros) is placed by Strabo between Colophon
and Lebedus. As the word Korakion is an adjective, the name of the mountain may
be Corax. When Strabo speaks of a mountain between Colophon and Lebedus, he means
that some high land is crossed in going from one place to the other; but this
high land runs north, and occupies the tract that extends from Colophon and Lebedus
north, towards the gulf of Smyrna. Chandler therefore may be right when he gives
the name Corax to the mountains which were on his left hand as he passed from
Smyrna to Vourla, near the site of Clazomenae. (Asia Minor, c. 23.)
ΛΕΒΕΔΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Ποταμός κοντά στη Λέβεδο (Παυσ. 7,3,5).
Dios Hieron (Dios Hieron: Eth. Diosierites), a small place in Ionia between Lebedus and Colophon. Stephanus B. (s. v.) cites Phlegon as his authority for the Ethnic name. The position which Stephanus assigns to the place, seems to agree with the narrative in Thucydides (viii. 29), where it is mentioned. Arundell (Discoveries, &c. vol. i. p. 36) says that the name of the river Cayster occurs on the medals of Dios Hieron, from which he concludes that it was not very far from the river. It is possible that there was another town of the name in Lydia and on the Cayster. Pliny (v. 29) makes the Dioshieritae belong to the conventus of Ephesus; and Ptolemy (v. 2) places it high up the valley of the Cayster, if we can trust his numbers. The epigraph on the coins is Diosiereiton.

ΣΜΥΡΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Βουνό γύρω από το οποίο έχτισε ο Αλέξανδρος την καινούρια πόλη της Σμύρνης κατόπιν ονείρου (Παυσ. 7,5,2).
Βουνό κοντά στη Σμύρνη. Ανάμεσα στο βουνό αυτό και τη θάλασσα αναφέρει ο Παυσανίας ότι χτίστηκε επί των ημερών του ένα Ιερό του Ασκληπιού (Παυσ. 7,5,9).
A small river of Ionia, flowing close by the walls of Smyrna, and discharging its waters into the Hermaean gulf. (Strab. xii. p. 554, xiv. p. 646.) The little stream derives its celebrity from its connection with the legends about Homer, and from a report; about the healing powers of its waters. There was a tradition that near the sources of the river Meles there was a cave in which Homer had composed his epic poems, whence he is sometimes called Melesigenes. (Paus. vii. 5. § 6 ; Vit. Hom. 2 ; Stat. Silv. iii. 3. 60, 7. 33 ; Tibull. iv. 1. 200.) The belief in the healing power of its waters is attested by an inscription quoted by Arundell (Asia Minor, vol. ii. p. 406) and Hamilton (Researches, vol. ii. Append. No. 48). These circumstances are of some importance in identifying the river. It used to be supposed that a small, dirty, and muddy stream, flowing close by the modern town of Smyrna, was the same as the ancient Meles. But there is another stream, with bright and sparkling water, which rushes over its rocky bed near Bournoubat, and is still celebrated for its agreeable and wholesome qualities. Travellers are now justly inclined to identify this river with the ancient Meles. This supposition is confirmed by our more accurate knowledge of the site of ancient Smyrna, which was on the north of the bay, while new Smyrna was on the south of it, at a distance of 20 stadia from the former; the site of the ancient place is still marked by a few ruins; and close by them flows the clear stream which we must assume to be the ancient Meles. (Comp. Hom. Hymn. viii. 3; Ptol. v. 2. § 7; Steph. B. s. v. Meletou kolpos, according to whom the river was also called Meletus; Plin. v. 31; Hamilton, Researches, vol. i. p. 51, foll.)

Smyrnaeus sinus (Smurnaion kolpos), also called the bay of Hermus (Hermeios kolpos), from the river Hermus, which flows into it, or the bay of Meles (Meletou k.), from the little river Meles, is the bay at the head of which Smyrna is situated. From its entrance to the head it is 350 stadia in length, but is divided into a larger and a smaller basin, which have been formed by the deposits of the Hermus, which have at the same time much narrowed the whole bay. A person sailing into it had on his right the promontory of Celaenae, and on his left the headland of Phocaea; the central part of the bay contained numerous small islands. (Strab. xiv. p. 645; Pomp. Mela, i. 17; Vit. Hom. 2; Steph. B. s. v. Smurna.)

ΤΕΩΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Ακρωτήρι στο οποίο υπήρχαν λουτρά (Παυσ. 7,5,11).
Then one comes to Chalcideis, and to the isthmus of the Chersonesus, belonging to the Teians and Erythraeans. Now the latter people live this side the isthmus, but the Teians and Clazomenians live on the isthmus itself; for the southern side of the isthmus, I mean the Chalcideis, is occupied by Teians, but the northern by Clazomenians, where their territory joins the Erythraean. At the beginning of the isthmus lies the place called Hypocremnus, which lies between the Erythraean territory this side the isthmus and that of the Clazomenians on the other side.
Above the Chalcideis is situated a sacred precinct consecrated to Alexander the son of Philip; and games, called the Alexandreia, are proclaimed by the general assembly of the Ionians and are celebrated there. The passage across the isthmus from the sacred precinct of Alexander and from the Chalcideis to Hypocremnus is fifty stadia, but the voyage round by sea is more than one thousand. Somewhere about the middle of the circuit is Erythrae, an Ionian city, which has a harbor, and also four isles lying off it, called Hippi
