To the Assians and the Gargarians now belong all the parts as far as the sea off
Lesbos that are surrounded by the territory of Antandrus and that of the Cebrenians
and Neandrians and Hamaxitans; for the Antandrians are situated above Hamaxitus,
like it being situated inside Lectum, though farther inland and nearer to Ilium,
for they are one hundred and thirty stadia distant from Ilium. Higher up than
these are the Cebrenians, and still higher up than the latter are the Dardanians,
who extend as far as Palaescepsis and Scepsis itself. Antandrus is called by Alcaeus
"city of the Leleges":
First, Antandrus, city of the Leleges
but it is placed by the Scepsian among the cities adjacent to their territory,
so that it would fall within the territory of the Cilicians; for the territory
of the Cilicians is continuous with that of the Leleges, the former, rather than
the latter, marking off the southern flank of Mt. Ida. But still the territory
of the Cilicians also lies low and, rather than that of the Leleges, joins the
part of the coast that is near Adramyttium... Inside is Antandrus, above which
lies a mountain called Alexandreia, where the Judgment of Paris is said to have
taken place, as also Aspaneus, the market for the timber from Mt. Ida; for here
people bring it down and sell it to those who want it. (Strabo 13.1.1)
