TAVIUM TO ANGORA.
397
Tavium to Com ana Pontica, as they had been already given
in the former. Another correction which must be made
is to consider JSgonne on the one road, and Eugoni on
the other, as the same place; there being but one road,
we cannot look for two places of such similar names in such
close vicinity. It may be said that one is 72 miles from
Tavium, and the other only 38, but this discrepancy is re-
moved by another correction which must also be made, viz.,
to expunge the first name on the road to Zela; the place
called Rogmor is evidently an interpolation, or abbreviation
of Trocmorum, signifying that Tavium was the capital of
the Trocmian Galatians; therefore the first station will be
^Egonne or Eugoni, at thirty-six or thirty-eight miles from
Tavium, according to both roads.
Let us now consider the four remaining roads.
V. Tavium to Angora.—The Antonine Itinerary here
gives 116 miles; the last station is omitted in the route
given by the Peutinger Table, which is therefore useless
for our present purpose, except in so far as it confirms the
distance from Angora to Ecobroge or Eccobriga, which is
68 M.P. according to the one, and 69 according to the
other, although differently subdivided. Now the dis-
tance on my map from Boghaz Kieui to Angora, the
longitude of which latter place was fixed by Messrs. Ains-
worth and Russell, is 85 G.M.; this, taking the degree
at 80 M.P., which is I think more correct than at 84 as pro-
posed by Major Rcnnell, gives 114 M.P., which maybe
considered a very fair approximation to the 116 M.P. given
in the Antonine Itinerary, as the distance between Tavium
and Angora.
2. Tavium to Csesarea.—Here the Antonine Itinerary
gives 109 M. P. The road of the Table is so out of all propor-
tion, giving 191 M. P., that it becomes entirely useless, unless
we suppose the road made some great detour, and that Aquae
Aruense in the one is, as is very probable, the same place as
Therma in the other route. In this case we get 113 M. P.
by this route. Here also the distance on the map gives 85
