Strabo, in his twelfth book, describes
both the Sarus and Carmalus as rising
in Cataonia, and as discharging them-
selves into the Cilician sea; yet he omits
them in the details of Cilicia, as if they
had merged into some other river: and
Abulfeda, a comparatively modern geo-
grapher, distinctly asserts, that the Sarus
unites with the Jyhan (Pyramus) between
Adana and the sea.
Between those two rivers, the shore
projects into a long sandy spit, occa-
sioned by similar causes, and somewhat
similar in appearance to the Lissan
