Listed 2 sub titles with search on: Various locations for destination: "PISSIDIA Ancient country TURKEY".
Limenae (Limenai), also called Limnopolis (Limnon polis), a place in the north
of Pisidia, which is mentioned only by ecclesiastical writers (Hierocl. p. 672;
Concil. Chalced. p. 670; Concil. Const. iii. p. 676, where it is called Lumnaia).
The ancient ruins of Galandos, on the east of the lake of Eyerdir, are believed
to belong to Limenae. (Arundell, Discov. in Asia Minor, vol. i. p. 326; Franz,
Funf Inschrift, p. 35.)
Sozopolis (Sozopolis, a town noticed only by late writers as a place in Pisidia, on the north of Termessus, in a plain surrounded on all sides by mountains. (Hierocl. p. 672; Evagr. Hist. Eccles. iii. 33.) It is possibly the same place which Stephanus B. notices under the name of Sozusa. Nicetas (Ann. p. 9) mentions that it was taken by the Turks, but recovered from them by John Comnenus. (Comp. Ann. p. 169; Cinnamus, p. 13.) The traveller Paul Lucas (Sec. Voy. vol. i. c. 33) observed some ancient remains at a place now called Souzou, south of Aglasoun, which probably belong to Sozopolis.
