TYRIEON (Ancient city) LYKAONIA
Tyriaeum (Turiaion: Eth. Tyrienses), a town of Lycaonia, which according
to Xenophon (Anab. i. 2. § 24) was 20 parasangs west of Iconium, and according
to Strabo (xiv. p. 663) on the eastern frontier of Phrygia, and probably on the
road from Synnada to Laodiceia, and between the latter and Philomnelium. Near
this town Cyrus the Younger reviewed his forces when he marched against his brother.
(Comp. Plin. v. 25; Hierocl. p. 672; and Conc. Chalced. p. 401, where the name
is written Turaion.) It is possible that Tyriaeum may be the same town as the
Totarion or Tetradion of Ptolemy (v. 4. § 10), the Tyrasion in the Conc. Chalced.
(p. 669), and the Tyganion of Anna Comnena (xv. 7, 13). Its site seems to be marked
by the modern Ilgun or Ilghun. (Hamilton, Researches, ii. p. 200; Kiepert in Franz,
Funf Inschriften, p. 36.)
